From Yerevan, head north to Lori Province for the Haghpat and Sanahin monasteries or journey eastward to the Geghard Monastery and the nearby Garni Temple, a rare pagan site and symbol of Armenia ...

Garni and Geghard are good places to visit for day ... This outdoor market in Yerevan is a good spot for Armenian souvenirs, including chess sets, paintings, jewelry, clothing, and pottery.
