Pagan Temple of Garni Review

In the suburbs of Yerevan, it was not convenient in the past. It is best to contact the travel agency. The Ghani Temple is the oldest ancient temple in the east. The surrounding area is also very beautiful and very distinctive, especially the autumn scenery is worth seeing.

From Gai bus station (opposite Mercedes-Benz Hall) to Gani Temple, 266 minibuses, 250 AMD, cost-effective. There is a big gap between local and foreigners in tickets. Foreigners charge 1500 AMD. From the temple side of the path down, you can reach Stone Symphony, the local natural volcanic joints rock wall, very spectacular, do not lose the Northern Ireland Giant Road, but in winter snow covered road slippery dangerous, it is recommended to go in spring, summer and autumn.

Greek-style relics, rare in this country, are worth visiting. More interesting is the volcanic basalt beneath the Grand Canyon, the natural hexagonal large-scale stone wall, which is formed by the rapid freezing of glaciers during volcanic eruption. It is worth to appreciate and sigh for a while.

The parking fee of 200 AMD was paid after parking in the scenic spot parking lot. Afterwards, after purchasing 1500 AMD tickets per person at the entrance of the scenic spot, the car entered the scenic spot. I don't know why this scenic spot charges admission fees, probably because it is a site of archaeological restoration during the Brezhnev period of the Soviet Union, so it has been charged up to now. This is a Greek-style building, tall and very lonely standing on the valley highlands, surrounded by mountains, this temple is really a bit "godlike" feeling. According to the introduction, this is the only Greek temple building in Armenia, and it is also the most complete Greek temple in the east of the world. It was built in the 1st century A.D. and its original building was destroyed in the earthquake of 1679. Today visitors see the restoration of archaeological circles in the Brezhnev era of the Soviet Union. Archaeologists used a lot of scattered building components in the restoration. We climbed the high platform of the temple and saw that it was empty. It was nice to stand on the high platform and watch the valley along the surrounding corridors. Then he went down to the temple and looked at the natural scenery in front of the fence near the cliff. The Valley scenery inside was already autumn charm, and the Yellow coverage reflected the green tree-covered village houses. The temple is surrounded by vast ruins of ruins, one of which has been built to protect the house. When you look into the ruins of the ancient Roman bathroom, there are mosaic tiles with paintings on the ground.

an amazing experience visit this temple. the scenery it’s unforgettable with the views of the surrounding area. the temple it’s emblematic.
