Armenia

Armenia is a small and mountainous nation with its own unique language, alphabet and culture. It was the first country in the world to adopt Christianity in 301 and there are hundreds of very ancient churches throughout the country.

Yerevan the capital is an attractive city with wide tree-lined boulevards and stylish buildings built of the pink volcanic, tuffa stone. From most places in the capital one can see the towering peak of Mount Ararat, the reputed resting place of Noah's Ark.

With its fresh mountain air, pure water and diverse flora and fauna, Armenia is a new destination, which will appeal as much to lovers of nature as to those interested in historical sights.
