Armenia in top 5 countries for travelling in authentic Orient
YEREVAN, January 7, /ARKA/. The Czech news portal Novinky.cz has included Armenia in its list of five countries of interest to travellers in the real East. It is pointed out that the eastern countries are not "spoiled" by tourist crowds and the prices there are lower than in Central Europe.
The publication notes that Armenia, a beautiful country at the foot of the Caucasus and the cradle of Christianity, shines with these two advantages.
Attractions include the Khor Virap Monastery, overlooked by the biblical Mount Ararat, Lake Sevan and the Sevanavank Monastery, as well as the rock-cut Geghard Monastery.
Armenia is also a suitable place for wine lovers. It is one of the oldest wine-growing regions in the world - archaeologists have discovered the oldest vineyard there, called Areni-1, which dates back to 4100-4000 BC.
in short, Armenia offers a comprehensive and authentic experience for those who do not need excessive luxury," writes Novinky.cz.
