Itinerary:

In the morning, we will cross the Georgian-Armenian border and head to the famous UNESCO-protected Haghpat Monastery. Described as a “masterpiece of religious architecture and a major center of learning in the Middle Ages,” Haghpat monastery was placed in 1996 on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.

Once we finish sightseeing in Haghpat, we will stop for lunch in a local restaurant. There we can try delicious kebabs, lavash, fresh salads and much more.

Next, we will head to the 12th-century Kobayr Monastery, hidden in a charming forest. We will take a 1.5-km-long easy walk to get to the temple. It will be a great opportunity for us to enjoy some nature and streach legs after a long drive.

Our last stop for today will be Odzun, an early-medieval church famous for its unusual pinkish color and arched galleries on both sides of the central entrance. Once we finish sightseeing, we will head back to Georgia. We will once again cross the border at Sadakhlo and drive to Tbilisi. The end of the tour.
