One of the world’s largest high-altitude freshwater lakes is a true natural treasure of Armenia. Surrounded by soft mountains and open skies, it offers breathtaking panoramas in every season.

Dilijan

A charming historical quarter in the heart of Dilijan, recreated in the style of the town’s 19th-century architecture. Its narrow cobblestone street, traditional wooden balconies, craft workshops, cafés, and souvenir shops offer a glimpse into the atmosphere of old Dilijan. It is an ideal place for a relaxed walk and photographs, while discovering the cultural character of one of Armenia’s most picturesque resort towns.

Haghartsin Monastery

Nestled deep within the lush, green landscapes of Dilijan National Park, Haghartsin Monastery is one of Armenia’s most enchanting spiritual sites. Dating back to the 10th–13th centuries, the complex features beautifully restored churches, intricately carved stonework, and a peaceful atmosphere that blends harmoniously with nature. Surrounded by towering trees and mountain mist, Haghartsin feels like a secluded sanctuary where history, architecture, and tranquility come together.

Located in the heart of Tavush’s forested landscapes, Goshavank Monastery stands as a remarkable centre of medieval Armenian culture and education. Built in the 12th–13th centuries by the scholar Mkhitar Gosh, the monastery once housed a famous school and scriptorium where important manuscripts were created. Today, visitors admire its elegant churches, finely carved khachkars—including the renowned “Gosh” cross-stone—and peaceful courtyard framed by mountains. Goshavank offers a perfect blend of history, spirituality, and architectural beauty.
