Armenia and Georgia: At the crossroads of continents

Nestled in the Caucasus region, Armenia and Georgia may feel different yet are greatly alike. From age-old towns to picturesque landscapes, from vibrant culture to diverse cuisine, the two countries have a lot to offer. And our tailor-made tour showcases the best of them.

Armenia is greatly overlooked as a holiday destination. Full of distinct culture, it truly is a hidden gem. Known to be one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities, the capital city, Yerevan, boasts of a blend of modernity and history. The UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Etchmiadzin Cathedral, Khor Virap Monastery, Geghard Monastery, and Garni Temple, among others, showcase Armenia’s ancient religious heritage. The ‘Pearl of Armenia’, Lake Sevan, is one of the largest freshwater high-altitude lakes in the world. Moreover, traditional Armenian cuisine is known for its rich flavours and unique ingredients.

From the Caucasus Mountains to the Black Sea coast, Georgia offers a wealth of experiences. The capital, Tbilisi, is a charming blend of the old and the new. The UNESCO World Heritage Sites of the country are some of the most venerated in the world. The snow-capped peaks, lush valleys, and gushing rivers are a call for rejuvenation. The unique millennia-old wine-making traditions and flavourful cuisine will leave one delighted.
