We really enjoyed this visit. It is a good 1/2 day trip from Yerevan and can be combined with Garni temple. I love the music chamber. The are some beautiful views of the mountain sides. It our kids were a bit older we would try the home from here to lake Sevan.

Garni Temple is a Greco-Roman colonnaded Pagan Temple dating back to second or first century AD and next to the Temple there are excavated Roman baths... After visiting the temple make sure to enter one of the several homes where the villages will demonstrate making "Lavash" an ancient Armenian bread and enjoy some home made cheeses and fresh fruits... Time permitting take a local taxi and go down the gorge to enjoy the "Symphony of Rocks" formation . Most regular tours do not include this unique part of Garni but if you are with a private tour then you must enjoy the beautiful rock formations... once you are there you can also enjoy a fresh fish lunch in a beautiful garden setting restaurant with the fish swimming in the river.....

Right below "Garni Temple's" breathtaking cliff, at 23kms East of Yerevan, you will find "Garni Gorge" and the "Basaltic Organ"! Beautiful basalt columns and structures that - at some points - look like were hand cut, so perfect they are! You can walk all the way down from "Garni Temple", or ride a 4WD vehicle with a local driver (that was what our group did). A new road was under construction while we were there. Be ready for awesome views and fantastic pictures to take home. Enjoy!
