It's an extraordinary example of traditional Armenian architecture, built between the 10th and 13th centuries on a hilltop and magnificently overlooking the Debed River Canyon. The monastery's location was chosen to protect the monks' peace and solitude. We'll then travel through Dilijan to Lake Sevan, one of the largest high-mountain freshwater lakes in the world, considered the "jewel of Armenia." The lake's shoreline is dotted with dense forests, white rock faces, mountain steppes, and alpine meadows. Visit the Sevanavank Monastery, which comprises two churches—Surb Arakelots and Surb Karapet—standing among numerous khachkars. The buildings were constructed of black tuff, which likely gave the monastery its name, Sevanavank, or "Black Monastery."

Why visit the Caucasus

The Caucasus is a magnificent region geographically located on the border between Europe and Asia, a crossroads of cultures and traditions that coexist in perfect harmony. Its constituent countries, including Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan, have a millennia-long history, whose richness is matched by the region's longstanding strategic importance. A tour of the Caucasus is a journey back in time, discovering captivating atmospheres against the backdrop of ancient rock carvings, Silk Road caravanserais, and medieval monasteries and churches, each telling a unique and fascinating story. Historically, the Caucasus is the birthplace of winemaking, with vineyards stretching as far as the eye can see, where wine is much more than a simple beverage, but a true cultural experience. Even today, the rolling hilly landscapes are covered with endless vineyards, producing some of the world's most renowned wine varieties. The region's natural and architectural wonders will delightfully accompany your tour of the Caucasus through Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia, the splendid gems of this magnificent region. Each of these nations offers a priceless cultural heritage, with vibrant traditions, colorful festivals, and delicious cuisine sure to delight your palate. With so much beauty to offer, the Caucasus remains little-known to the general public, representing an incredibly fascinating and authentic corner of the world, ready to be explored and appreciated by those seeking adventures off the beaten path.

Trip to the Caucasus, stop in Georgia

Georgia is a beautiful and fascinating country in the heart of the Caucasus, on the border between Europe and Asia. Georgia is famous for its natural landscapes, characterized by vast forests and picturesque mountains, but also for the architectural beauty that is the fruit of the Georgian people's centuries-old history. A trip to Georgia will not leave you indifferent. A tour of Georgia is both an opportunity to discover its architectural and historical riches and a chance to connect with a people who hold hospitality sacred. It is no coincidence that in Tbilisi, the Georgian capital, the famous Mother of Georgia monument was erected to celebrate hospitality and friendship. A trip to Georgia is certainly a powerful sensory experience. Georgia is renowned for its fruit and wines, which enrich a varied and interesting gastronomic tradition. Georgia is still relatively unknown to international tourism, but it has all the makings of a fulfilling trip filled with positive emotions.

Trip to the Caucasus, stop in Armenia

Armenia is a small nation in the Caucasus, located at the crossroads of Asia and Europe. Mass tourism has yet to reach these lands, where the natural wonders of its landscapes intertwine with splendid medieval architecture. It boasts a fascinating history dating back millennia and a culture that has captivated travelers from around the world. Armenia's architectural heritage is linked to Christianity: in fact, Armenia is one of the oldest Christian nations in the world. The Armenian Church dates back to 301 AD and has left a rich legacy in today's Armenian artistic and architectural heritage, which includes ancient churches, monasteries, and fortifications that tell stories of faith and resistance. Furthermore, the landscape is spectacular, with majestic mountains rising above and crystal-clear lakes reflecting the beauty of nature. A trip to Armenia is all of this: faith, discovery, history, landscapes, architecture, good food, and a hospitable people who never fail to put a smile on the face of the visitor. Culinary traditions are a fundamental part of Armenian culture, with delicious dishes like khorovats (barbecue), sweets like gatas, and the unmistakable Armenian brandy, famous worldwide. Every corner of this country tells a piece of its history, and every sight leaves an imprint on your heart. Discovering Armenia is an invitation to join a journey filled with unique and authentic experiences.
