Garni Temple Armenia

In a land full of Armenian Monasteries and Churches, it seems slightly out of place and odd to find a Greek style Temple in amongst the dominated Christianity.This peculiarity is one of the things that attracted us to visit Garni and we loved it.Garni Temple is situated out in the countryside, down a hill from the small village of Garni which is about 40 minutes drive from Yerevan.You pay 1000 Armenian Dram to get inside this place is a UNESCO listed World Heritage spot too.It in remote countryside and sparkles in this dreamy landscape.Within the area of Garni Temple, you can admire the stunning views, go inside the main temple, which dates back to the 1st Century! The most remarkable thing about the Garni Temple is that it a Hellenic Greek Temple which survived the Christianity revolutions in Armenia and still stands, proud and pretty to this very day.There are also some souvenir stalls within and some strolls and walks around the nearby countryside.You can read my full report on visiting Garni Temple.
