A very holy and surreal place to visit. The views of the monastery if simply breathtaking and amazing. You can keep your camera away and not take a picture of the views from here. A must visit place for any tourist visiting Armenia. Will always recommend and thumbs up!!

Pretty similar to the other small churches spread around the country, but this one has a great looking small canyon behind the building. This is definitely the highlight. The building itself is amazing, and given that it isn't very far from Yerevan, it is pretty great. Downside is that there's no toilet there. If you need a toilet, you have to call the people in the house right next to the church and pay 200 dram. Then, they will open the gate between the house and the church and let you use their toilet.

It was my first time visiting this beautiful church, because of wedding. Inside and surrounded areas were clean and well maintained. It was beautiful sunny day, even though little windy, but the view of canyon and surroundings were breathtaking, one of the best places to visit.

One of the most popular monastery close to Yerevan (20 min. away ). Historical place with great view on canyon. Highly recommended for visiting especially in Summer and autumn...

This place - Savhmosavank has several terrain features - deep ravine, some trees, hills, fields to the horizont, mountains and rocks. The castle is falling apart, but you can see the main structure.

It's one of the best places to visit in Armenia. The church of 13 century with panoramic view is one of the many sightseeings you can have outside Yerevan. It's 37km away from Yerevan and you can reach there in 40-50min.

The church is decent but the real reason for visiting this place should be the walk to the canyon behind. It takes about 3hrs to complete the route and it's not very well marked. In order not to get lost it is advised to download an app "hikeArmenia" and look it up. Also, be aware of snakes and bears which live in the canyon. I did not meet any of them but we saw their footprints. Views are amazing.
