Things to do in Akhtala

A wonderful place. The best way to explore the Cascade is to start from the top and work your way down (you can take a taxi to the top). There's also a wonderful observation deck at the top and a monument to the 50th anniversary of the Revolution. On a clear day, you can see all of Mount Ararat.

It is about 70 kilometers from Yerevan by car. It is a free attraction. There is also a monastery. We took a cruise ship, which cost 10,000 drams for 3 people, about 60 yuan per person. There were not many people when we went there that day, which was equivalent to chartering a boat. Climb to the top of the mountain to find the monastery.

It was very interesting to see the cranes’ nests along the way to the Khor Virap.

加尔德修道院是亚美尼亚最著名修道院之一，2000年列入世界文化遗产。由多座矗立于岩石之中教堂和坟墓组成；主体建筑群修建于13世纪，由大教堂、前廊、东西两侧岩石切割而成的小教堂、普罗什扬王子的家族墓、帕帕克和鲁祖坎的墓室，以及各种单人间和众多岩石切割城的亚美尼亚十字架石组成；修道院北侧为阿扎特山谷入口处的悬崖绝壁，其余部分被防御墙包围，体现出建筑与自然的完美融合。格加尔德修道院是中世纪亚美尼亚著名的教会和文化中心，其著名的凿岩式教堂和陵墓是保存完整的亚美尼亚中世纪修道院建筑及装饰艺术之典范。

Sevan in Armenia is the closest region to Georgia. There are not many people here, and even fewer tourists, which makes it full of exploration. The architectural style here is Caucasian.

It is definitely worth a visit, right in the city center, facing the beautiful Mount Ararat, with a park next to it. In the morning and evening, many people walk and exercise on the mountain trails. The air is very fresh, and there are many mulberry trees on the road, which are sweet and delicious!

One of the must see churches in Armenia. Inside is very peaceful. Cable car is also worth to try. The scenery from above is breathtaking. Don’t miss the sweets locals sell in front of the church. Especially “gata” is my favorite.

This is a coffee museum with many coffee culture displays, which is good.
