Places like Geghard are difficult to rate. They are different, unique, places that you have to visit if you get a chance. On top of it all, the place has breathtaking acoustics, so listening to the choir singing is ... breathtaking.

A place absolutely beautiful. The scenery, the churches, the rocks. A lot of time has passed here in contemplation and hardship. Extremely interesting.

Part of the monastry is carved into the rock. It is really beautifull. Women sell dried fruit and sweet bread but our guide warned us that when you approach one stall to buy something that another salespersons gets angry and that they fight somtimes.

Gegard is a charming monastery close to the village of Garni. It is carved into the mountain. Nature around the monastery is amazing. This is a mandatory place to visit.
The priest will kindly tell you about the history of the monastery.
You can also buy a very tasty traditional Armenian sweets.
