Garni

Destination

Garni

Garni is home to Armenia's remarkable classical temple above the Azat River gorge.

Why visit

The Temple of Garni stands on a rocky promontory above the Azat River gorge. Dating to the 1st century AD, it offers a rare look at the region's pre-Christian architectural heritage. The surrounding landscape is part of the experience: the temple's columns frame views of the nearby mountains and valley.

Many itineraries combine Garni with the Symphony of Stones, a striking formation of basalt columns in the gorge, and Geghard Monastery farther along the same route. Check the linked tours below to see which stops are actually included, how long the trip lasts and whether a shared departure or private vehicle suits your plans.
