Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
undulating grass are landmarks in a ghost city that was once the stately Armenian capital.
The poignant ruins, the windswept plateau overlooking the Turkish-Armenian border, and
the total lack of crowds make for an eerie ambience. In the silence broken only by the
gurgling river, ponder what went before: the thriving kingdom; the solemn ceremony of
the Armenian liturgy; and the travellers, merchants and nobles bustling about their busi-
ness in this Silk Road entrepôt.
From the entrance, follow the path to the left and tour the churches in clockwise order.
Not all the site is open to visitors; some parts are off limits. Allow at least 2½ hours here.
There are toilets and a small shop at the gate, with a cafe possibly opening, but play it safe
and bring food and water.
