About Armenia

Armenia is a small, mountainous country in the South Caucasus, shaped by the Armenian Highlands and the slopes around Mount Ararat across the border. Yerevan, the pagan temple of Garni, the rock-cut monastery of Geghard and Lake Sevan are the country's best-known landmarks. Spring and early summer bring green valleys and wildflowers, autumn is warm and colourful around the monasteries, and winters are cold with snow in the highlands.
