Armenia is a country I really enjoyed exploring, from Yerevan and the monasteries in the south to Lake Sevan and the forested trails around Dilijan. What stood out to me was the mix—ancient churches, Soviet-era mosaics, open-air markets, mountain scenery, and a capital city I ended up enjoying more than I expected. These posts bring together my travels in Armenia, with more to come.
