Italian media: Armenia is an accessible and surprising "hidden gem" of the Caucasus.
An Italian web portal dedicated to travel and real estate published a great article titled "Armenia: A Caucasus Country That Surprises and Delights with Its Accessibility." Journalists called Armenia a "hidden gem" at the crossroads of Europe and Asia and compiled a list of five major destinations that must be visited.
Among them are the picturesque capital Yerevan with its pink tuff buildings and panoramic views of Mount Ararat, as well as the high-altitude Swan Lake with the ancient Swank Monastery on the shore. The authors paid special attention to Dilijan, which received the nickname "Armenian Switzerland" for its dense forests and ancient monasteries, the Tsakhkadzor ski resort, where active winter sports are combined with a visit to medieval temples, and Gyumri, the cultural capital of the country, which attracts guests with its original historical and gastronomic architecture.
The publication specifically notes the high level of security, the affordable prices, the absence of a massive influx of tourists and sincere Armenian hospitality, which concludes that the country is ideal for a comfortable and budget vacation.
