About this experience
Yerevan is a blend of old and modern architecture, crafts, delicious cuisine, and friendly locals. I invite you to see it for yourself! You will visit a 19th-century church, the Soviet monumental complex Cascade, the 'underground palace' of the craftsman Levon, and the carpet museum. You will also bake traditional Armenian lavash in a tandoor.
What to Expect
The Diverse Yerevan
I have prepared a route that reveals the unique character of Yerevan. The excursion program includes:
- Levon's Underground - we will visit the 'underground palace' of local resident Levon Arakelyan. Over 20 years ago, his wife asked him to build a cellar in the house. Over the years, it grew into a true work of art. You will see seven rooms connected by corridors and stairs, as well as numerous decorations on the walls and ceilings.
- Cascade Monument - you will appreciate the grandiose architectural-monumental complex consisting of stairs, flowerbeds, open terraces, and fountains. I will tell you about the stages of implementing this large-scale project.
- St. Sarkis Church - we will explore the ancient church built in 1842 from the outside and inside. I will share the life story of St. Sarkis and reveal why Armenian girls do not drink water on his dedicated day.
- Carpet Museum - we will peek into the cozy museum and talk about the traditions of Armenian carpet weaving.
- Lavash Baking Masterclass - in the company of a professional chef, you will bake authentic Armenian lavash in a tandoor.
