- A traveler on visiting Armenia
Armenia is one of the world's oldest civilizations, and the first nation to adopt Christianity as a state religion in 301 AD. The country's stunning monasteries like Geghard and Tatev cling to dramatic mountain settings, with the snow-capped Mount Ararat providing a constant backdrop. Yerevan's vibrant cafe culture, Armenia's legendary hospitality, and its emerging wine and food scene make this Caucasus gem increasingly popular with adventurous travelers.
