Armenia 🇦🇲 Day 2 of 4 Day trip. Yerevan – Garni – Symphony of Stones – Geghard, 9th July 2026

Great breakfast, green walnuts that are boiled and made into a jam (muraba). Lots of cherries, grapefruit and jam apples. After breakfast. Leaving Yerevan, we pass Mount Arafat and drive to Garni, the only pagan temple in Armenia that 
survived the introduction of Christianity in the 4th century. 

Descend Garni Gorge to explore a monumental rock formation called Symphony of Stones. The next stop is the monastery complex called Geghard (“spear”). The beautiful landscape of Geghard is framed by towering cliffs. Decorative art cut into the rocks reflects and explains Medieval development in this part of the world. The complex appeared in the 4th century around the sacred spring inside the cave. Overnight in Yerevan. Driving distance: 80 km + 280 km transfer.
