Armenia, an ancient
civilisation whose territory once stretched from the Black Sea to the
Caspian, was the first nation in the world to officially adopt Christianity,
in 301 AD, and their heritage of early stone-carved churches is unsurpassed.
Travelling through the mountainous terrain (the Lesser Caucasus) resembles
traversing an open-air museum - we access remote monasteries, ancient
standing stones and early forts on foot and observe the traditional way of
life of shepherding and wine-making communities, whilst based in a series of
very comfortable (4 star) heritage hotels. |
