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 Yerevan Gai bus station( Mercedes-Benz Pavilion opposite) do 266 minibus directly to Gani Temple, 250AMD, economical. There is a big gap between locals and foreigners, and foreigners charge 1500AMD. From the path next to the temple, you can reach Stone Symphony. The natural volcanic joint rock walls of the local area are very spectacular. Not losing the Northern Ireland giant road, but winter ice and snow cover road slippery difficult to walk dangerous, it is recommended to go in spring, summer and autumn.
The remains of Greek style are rare in this country and worth a visit. What is more interesting is the volcanic basalt under the Grand Canyon, a natural hexagonal large-scale stone wall, which is quickly frozen when the volcano erupts. It is worth enjoying.
an amazing experience visit this temple. the scenery it’s unforgettable with the views of the surrounding area. the temple it’s emblematic.
Parked the car in the scenic parking lot and paid the parking fee of 200AMD, and then purchased the tickets for each person 1500AMD (high fares for foreigners) at the entrance of the scenic spot and entered this scenic spot. I didn’t figure out why this attraction was charged for tickets, probably because it was an archaeological restoration site in the Soviet Brezhnev period, so the fee has been continued to this day. It is a Greek-style building, standing tall and lonely on the valley high ground, surrounded by mountains, this temple is really a little "God-like" feeling. The only Hellenistic temple in Armenia, the source said, is also the world's most eastern complete Hellenistic temple. Built in the 1st century AD, the original building was destroyed in the earthquake of 1679, and today visitors see the restoration of the Soviet Brezhnev era archaeology community. Archaeologists in the restoration, using many scattered building components. We boarded the temple's high platform and saw the temple empty, but it was nice to stand on the high platform and watch the valley along the surrounding corridors. Then walk down the temple to the fence next to the nearby cliffs to enjoy the natural scenery, the valley scenery inside is already the charm of autumn, yellow cover and green trees hidden village houses. Around the temple are large pieces of ruins, one of which is covered with protective houses, and walked into the site of the original Roman bathroom, where there are mosaic tiles with paintings on the ground.
