The Most Famous Mountain in Armenia Isn’t Even There

from Finding Gina Marie - Travel the World · host Judy and Kevin Hoctor

Ep.170 What happens when a country’s most famous symbol isn’t even within its borders? We spent two weeks in Yerevan, Armenia chasing Mount Ararat, the country’s national symbol and the mountain tied to Noah’s Ark. Along the way, we explored the city’s pink-stone streets, its food and markets, the Cascade, and the moving Genocide Memorial. Our search took us outside the city to the Arch of Charents, Garni Temple, the volcanic cliffs of the Symphony of Stones, and the rock-hewn Geghard Monastery. We share why the mountain still matters so deeply, how walkable and accessible Yerevan felt, and how much we spent. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube!Support the show
