Explore Armenia with Corinthian
Armenia’s diminutive size makes it an easy country to traverse by vehicle on a private tour without necessitating too many long drives. In the heart of the country, Yerevan is ideally placed to provide a luxurious base from where much of Armenia can be explored on day excursions. For those who want to travel further afield, the town of Goris, situated in an area of stunning natural beauty, is unlikely to disappoint. Those who enjoy walking and hiking would do well to spend time in Dilijan National Park or the monastery-strewn landscapes of the Debed Canyon.
Armenia is a deserved stand-alone destination, but we highly recommend a combined Armenia and Georgia holiday for travellers with a little more time. Corinthian Travel specialises in tailor-made holidays in Armenia and the Caucasus. Our Armenia destination guides and suggested itineraries have been designed to provide inspiration and are a good starting point. However, we encourage you to take advantage of our expertise, with which we can help you devise an extraordinary private holiday to Armenia.

Armenia Journey Planner
Four or five days in Armenia
Focus on the highlights of Armenia’s capital, Yerevan. Start with a tour of the city’s historic landmarks, including Republic Square and the Matenadaran Library. Explore the Armenian Genocide Memorial and Cascade Complex for panoramic views. Enjoy traditional Armenian cuisine and vibrant nightlife in Yerevan’s downtown. You could also take a day trip to Garni and Geghard for a glimpse of Armenia’s ancient heritage and venture to Lake Sevan, where you can visit Sevanavank Monastery and enjoy the serene surroundings.
One week to ten days in Armenia
A week to ten days in Armenia means you can add more depth to your Armenian adventure. Explore Dilijan National Park, known as the “Little Switzerland” of Armenia, and hike the stunning trails. Discover ancient cave towns in Khndzoresk and Tatev monastery, and visit the wine-producing region of Areni. Don’t miss Noravank Monastery and Khor Virap, offering picturesque vistas of Mount Ararat. Extend your stay to explore Armenia’s hidden gems: head to the northern region of Lori, where you’ll find the medieval Haghpat and Sanahin monasteries.
Two weeks in Armenia
With two or more weeks, there is ample opportunity to slow the pace down completely, explore Armenia’s hidden gems, experience the hospitality of Armenian villagers and participate in traditional crafts.
With the luxury of two weeks or more in the Caucasus, we would recommend a tailor-made tour that combines Armenia with neighbouring Georgia.
