The Temple of Garni #foodie is located in the village of Garni in Kotayk Province, Armenia, and it was once a pagan temple dedicated to the Armenian sun god Mihr. Built in the middle of the 1st century CE, the Temple of Garni remarkably survived the destruction of pagan temples following Armenia's conversion to Christianity in the 4th century CE, and countless invasions and earthquakes until its collapse in 1679 CE. After continuous excavations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries CE, the Temple of Garni was reconstructed between 1969-1975 CE. Today, it is the only free-standing Greco-Roman structure in Armenia and seen by many as a potent symbol of Armenia's classical past as well as its deep historical ties to the civilizations of Greece and Rome.

Before my first visit to Armenia, the only thing I knew about the city was Yerevan Cascade. It’s funny to think about it now as after all these years and numerous visits Yerevan is in the very top of my favorite places and I try to return there frequently. And no visit is completed without going to the Cascade Yerevan complex. It’s usually one of the first places I go to! Looking at the city from the top of the Cascade in one of my favorite things to do in Yerevan. The Yerevan Cascade is located in the northern part of the city center, not far from the Opera, at Tamanyan street. Even if the Cascade is in a straight line from the Opera you need to go around to get there as there is no street crossing at Moskovyan street in front of the Cascade complex. You will find the nearest crossings at the corners of Moskovyan street and Marshal Baghramyan Avenue and Moskovyan street with Mesrop Mashtots Avenue. The nearest metro stations are Yeritasardakan (650 meters) and Marshal Baghramyan (1 kilometer). Republic Square is 1,6 kilometer away from the Cascade. To get to the top of the Cascade you might walk up all the 572 stairs but it can get tiring, especially on a warm and sunny day. Fortunately, inside the Cascade, you will find the escalator that will take you all the way to the second to last level. The ride is free of charge and along the way you can admire some modern artworks. The entrance is on your left side when looking at the Cascade. You might also take the taxi and go all the way to the Memorial of the 50th anniversary of Soviet Armenia and then walk down from the Cascades. Yandex Taxi from the Republic Square should cost around 700 AMD.#nationalpark
