What To Expect
Charent's Arch
The Arch of Charents, a vantage point from which, on a clear day, the view of Mount Ararat and the valley below opens. It is the ideal place for the first photos and to introduce the history and geography of Armenia.
The Monastery of Geghard
Finally we reach the Geghard rock monastery, a UNESCO site of the 13th century, partly carved into the rock and famous for its acoustics. Here you will have time to visit the different churches, listen to the liturgical songs if any and breathe in the mystical atmosphere of the place.

5.00The Ciao Armenia team made the Caucasian stay perfect! We participated in two tours, with perfect organization but also flexible to the needs of the participants. In a small group (6 people) in a minivan with Wi-Fi, with a driver, Leone, who was very kind and friendly, and a spectacular guide, Massimo, who, thanks to his background, did not limit himself to illustrating the beauties of the place but made the experience truly engaging and enriching, managing to help us grasp, with his experience as an Italian cooperator in Armenia, every nuance of the people, their culture, and habits, in addition to having an answer for each of our thousand questions, even about geopolitics. All in a light and cheerful atmosphere. Truly a top experience! Armenia is beautiful, but it is much more so with Ciao Armenia! Thanks to Alex for creating this wonderful reality!
A unique experience
