These half day tours cover Echmiadzin, the seat of the Armenian Church, and the ruined round cathedral of Zvartnots, both under an hour from Yerevan. Armenia adopted Christianity as its state religion in the year 301, earlier than anyone else, and this short circuit is where that history feels closest. On a clear day the seventh century columns of Zvartnots frame Ararat.
Step into the ancient world with a captivating Group Tour to Echmiadzin and Zvartnots Temple, where secrets of the Mother Cathedral, churches, and Treasury await exploration.
