About Armenia

Unexpectedly amazing land of Armenia – here is the most common definition by the tourists when describing Armenia. Armenia is a sovereign state in the South Caucasus region of Eurasia and borders by Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Iran. It’s located at the crossroads between Europe and Asia and is a country of mountainous terrain centered on the Mt. Ararat Valley-the heart and the symbol of the Armenian nation since biblical times.

Many different cultures and nations have been referring to the Armenian Highlands as the Holy Land because Noah’s ark came to rest on the Ararat mountain. It was mostly defined also “Mountainous Island” or the “Rooftop of Asia Minor” as the average altitude of the country is at about 1800 MSL. In the 1st century BC the Kingdom of Armenia reached its height enlarging its territory to about 300 000 km2 stretched from the Caspian Sea to the Black and Mediterranean Seas, but today it’s a landlocked country with no navigable waterways.

Even without sea access Armenia’s landscapes offer boundless beauty. In only 29,743 km2 (about the size of Belgium) all 7 main landscape types are represented and the landscapes are changed every 30 km: white and high mountain peaks, fertile green valleys, picturesque rock sculptures, rapid rivers, waterfalls, canyons, mineral springs and the fascinating lake Sevan which is the second highest and largest alpine freshwater lake in the world.
It’s nice to travel to Armenia in each season because it has 4 seasons well distinguished from each other: snow-white winter, mellow autumn, colorful spring and sunny summer with a huge variety of fruits of which apricot and pomegranate as a symbol of Armenia from ancient times.

Being an ancient cradle of civilization Armenia today appears to the travellers by its Christian aspect as the 1st Christian state in the world. The enormous Christian heritage with a set of UNESCO sites is well combined with the pre-Christian civilization traces on all over the country, with variable landscapes, delicious Armenian cuisine, that would satisfy the tastes even of the most rigorous gourmets, ancient traditions and customs with a strong family institution that managed to preserve Armenian culture, identity, traditions and belonging for centuries, and of course with its very hospitable people defined by tourists as a highlight of the country.
