I returned to Armenia for a third visit in September 2016. A theme of this trip was the surprising diversity of the country.
A series of posts from three trips to Armenia – a tiny land on the edge of Europe where a tragic and devastating history and a rich, deep cultural heritage all somehow lay the foundation for a dynamic, welcoming and thoroughly engaging country.
A visit to surely Yerevan’s most unusual tourist attraction – the amazing testament to one man’s determination that is Levon’s Divine Underground.
A visit to Yerevan’s Iranian-funded Blue Mosque, the only mosque in Armenia.
In my time in Armenia I only headed out of Yerevan twice. Here’s a bit of what I found in Armenia’s beautiful countryside.
A further look at Yerevan through a handful of photos I took around the city.
A look at the beautiful, centuries-old Armenian language, and Yerevan’s fascinating manuscript museum.
Reflections on the significance of the Armenian genocide, and the magnificent and moving genocide memorial museum in Yerevan.
As I get a new passport for a forthcoming overseas trip, I reflect on passports, stamps and disappearing border posts.
