This portion of the Nature’s masterpiece is typically referred to as the “Symphony of the Stones”.

Stop At: Charent's Arch, Garni Armenia
The Arch of Charents was erected in 1957 and named in honour of one of the most famous Armenian poets Eghishe Charents. They say, Charents loved this place and used to visit it frequently.

But from the Charents Arch opens a breathtaking view on mount Ararat, probably one of the most stunning views of the Biblical mountain.
