7. Garni Temple
Another excellent example of Armenia’s ancient architecture and the cultural display is the Garni Temple which is located 30 kilometres east of Yerevan. This former pagan temple is estimated to be created in the 2nd century BC. Its Greco-Roman style makes the Garni Temple unique in Armenia, and undoubtedly reminds travellers of the Greek Acropolis.
8. Khndzoresk
In terms of backdrops, the age-old cave village of Khndzoresk belongs to the most amazing in the country. This settlement, almost glued to the border with Azerbaijan, is built on a mountain slope and consists of natural and man-made caves. Unlike its almost prehistoric looks would suggest, Khndzoresk was even inhabited until the 1950s. You can scout through the caves and – if you dare – cross the suspension bridge over the gorge Khndzoresk is built in. The construction measures 160 metres and presents daredevils with stunning vistas over the canyon and cave village.
