3. The Monastery of Geghard Geghard
Geghard is a medieval monastery in the Kotayk province of Armenia, being partially carved out of the adjacent mountain, surrounded by cliffs. It is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the main chapel was built in 1215, the monastery complex was founded in the 4th century by Gregory the Illuminator at the site of a sacred spring inside a cave. The monastery had thus been originally named Ayrivank , meaning the Monastery of the Cave. The name commonly used for the monastery today, Geghard, or more fully Geghardavank , meaning the Monastery of the Spear, originates from the spear which had wounded Jesus at the Crucifixion, allegedly brought to Armenia by Apostle Jude, called here Thaddeus, and stored amongst many other relics.

5. Monastery Sevanavank Sevan
Sanahin Monastery is an Armenian monastery founded in the 10th century in the Lori Province of Armenia. The name Sanahin literally translates from Armenian as this one is older than that one, presumably representing a claim to having an older monastery than the neighbouring Haghpat Monastery. The two villages and their monasteries are similar in many ways, and lie in plain view of each other on a dissected plateau formation, separated by a deep crack formed by a small river flowing into the Debed river. As with Haghpat, Sanahin is frequented by an increasing number of tourists, due to its recent inclusion on the itineraries of a great number of Armenian tour agencies, the beauty of its monastery complex matching that of Haghpat's. The complex belongs to the Armenian Apostolic Church with n...

6. Goshavank Monastery Gosh
Goshavank is a 12th- or 13th-century Armenian monastery located in the village of Gosh in the Tavush Province of Armenia. Today the monastery is not a functioning religious complex, although it remains a popular tourist destination and has recently undergone some light restoration. These restorations are being financed by an Islamic individual from the United Arab Emirates for reasons not fully understood. The impressive monastery which has remained in relatively good condition also houses one of the world's finest examples of a khachkar.

7. Hayravank Monastery Hayravank
Hayravank is a 9th to 12th century Armenian monastery located just northeast of the village of Hayravank along the southwest shores of Lake Sevan in the Gegharkunik Province of Armenia. The monastic complex consists of a church, chapel, and gavit. Surrounding the monastery are numerous khachkars and gravestones that are part of a small cemetery. To the northwest a short distance from the site, are the remains of Bronze Age through medieval fortification walls and foundations of a settlement. A polished black vessel of the Early Bronze Age was discovered during archaeological excavations in the area. Weapons of metal and stone, tools, clay idols, numerous vessels, fireplaces and two tombs, all from the Iron Age were discovered in the vicinity as well.

Paragliding in Armenia

PARAGLIDING IN ARMENIA
FLY, EXPLORE AND DISCOVER ARMENIA!

Hey! If you're not afraid of heights and are looking for a fun and different experience, try paragliding in Armenia!

The combination of weather and geography make Armenia a paragliding paradise with a wide range of possibilities for paragliding. From the exciting Tsovagyugh near the Lake Sevan, to the birthplace of Armenian paraglider and hang glider pilots, Mount Hatis - you can find places with all types of winds and weather conditions.

You do not need prior knowledge or special skills for these flights. Tandem flights are the easiest and safest way to experience a free flight. It involves a pilot flying with a passenger as a shared adventure. You and the pilot have separate harnesses that are attached by spreader bars to the paraglider wing. The purpose of the tandem flight is to enjoy paragliding as a passenger without being the pilot in command.

At Phoenix Tour Armenia we strive to provide our clients with an excellent vacation, flying fantastic sites while having fun and encountering our Armenian culture: the food, the music, the people.
