Armenia Holidays

Millennia-old monasteries litter deeply religious Armenia, which was the world’s first Christian country.

There is an old-world charm to Armenia that is immediately inviting.

Local eateries offer delicious food paired with good local wines, while fresh produce like honey, figs, apricots and nuts are readily available in small villages. A holiday to Armenia provides the perfect opportunity to experience these delights firsthand, with spectacular views of Mount Ararat leaving you to wonder if the Ark might really be up there.

Why you'll like Armenia

Armenia is a land where genuine hospitality makes every visit a pleasure. Its capital, Yerevan, is a city older than Rome, inviting you to unravel the threads of its ancient past. Whether drawn by the thrill of outdoor adventure or the allure of rich cultural traditions, you’ll find that Armenia offers something for everyone.

What to expect on your Armenia holiday

Although Armenia once extended from the Black Sea to the Caspian, today it is confined to an area smaller than Belgium, lying sandwiched between Georgia, Azerbaijan, Iran and Turkey. Consequently, many of its historical monuments now lie beyond its borders. However, as the first country in the world to formally adopt Christianity in 301AD, it is hardly surprising to find the landscape dotted with beautiful old churches and monasteries, many of which predate the 10th century.

Paul Craven

Paul is the Conde Nast Traveller chosen Specialist for Central Asia and the Silk Route.

I first travelled to Vietnam in 1988, when tourism was barely a concept, and have been visiting Central Asia since it was still behind the Iron Curtain. Such first-hand experience makes all the difference when talking to clients. I know the importance of asking questions, not taking the first answer as gospel, and matching the right destination to the right person.

Sue Grimwood

In the late ’90s, I booked myself on an expeditionary voyage into the Antarctic Circle and was instantly hooked. Since then, I’ve returned to Antarctica a number of times and ventured deep into the Arctic – from Svalbard to the Russian and Canadian Arctic – always chasing that same sense of wonder. It’s this rare personal experience of the world’s polar extremes that I bring to every journey I plan.
