Wow this place is quite something especially with the beautiful drive to get here and then the incredible views from the hill behind the monastery! Especially liked the dungeons where you can climb down the steep ladder and experience what it would have been liked trapped in there. Very very interesting, would recommend.

A church located down by the Turkish border of Armenia, sat picturesquely in front of Mount Ararat. There’s a flag on the hill behind the church with some nice views on the whole complex, and you can grab nice photos at the rest area on the drive in. There’s a small bazaar on the walk in.

Best View or MOUNT ARARAT and the drive itself is soooo beautiful. Its 45 minutes from the main coty. I recommend driving there on ur own to enjoy the route. We went 3 times because 1st 2 visits it was cloudy so we could not see the view. I really recommend hiking to the top of the hill next to the monastery to get a full 360 degree view. You will pay 200 Dirhams for parking like anywhere else. The monastery from inside is just so beautiful. Lived every bit of this visit ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT ♥️

Probably the most wonderful panoramic view to be found in Armenia, a real gem. However, it is quite impossible to enjoy at the moment, it is so overcrowded with tourists. There really should be time slots for entry.

What a great visit. The monastery is located right on the border with Turkey. If you are not claustrophobic, differently check the underground chambers, it is a quiet experience to climb down. The short hike to the top of the mountain opens a breathtaking view of the monastery and the valley. If you get lucky with the weather, this is the best view on Mount Ararat. Overall, a half day trip from Yerevan and absolutely worth it

A monastry which is very popular for enjoying the stunning view of Mount Ararat, from distance the view is really picture perfect - with mount ararat on the backdrop...

A famous place where to spot Ararat (double) mountain and Turkish territory ( you can see the minarets of the mosques ). How can a symbol of a country that is shown on the national flag remain in another country ?.. My heart is bleeding…
