    Full description
    Leave behind the frantic pace of the city and head towards the Garni Pagan Temple, the only Hellenistic Temple in the Caucasus and the former USSR. Find out how the temple was built in 77AD by the Armenian King Tiridates I and dedicated to the God of Sun, Mithra.  Next, proceed to Geghard Monastery, an incredible ancient Armenian monastery, partly carved into the side of a mountain. Discover how it is said that the Holy Lance that pierced the body of Christ was kept here. Admire the architectural forms and the decoration which show that Armenian builders could not only create superb works of architecture out of stone but also hew them in solid rock.
