We have been to Armenia so many times, but we only got here this time — and obviously for good reason. The temple itself is carved right into the rock, and inside it feels like you are entering another dimension: cool, dim, stone vaults and the echo of footsteps. This time we caught a wedding, and the candlelight made the atmosphere truly atmospheric. There is something to see both inside and out. The place is strong.

A must-visit! A unique monastery in a unique place! Part of the monastery is cut right out of the rock. How was it done? How much work, effort, and soul has been invested here! An endless stream of tourists from all over the world! The most picturesque divine place!

It's an amazing place, it was especially interesting with the tour, we learned so much. It was nice to light a candle and see the rock hall, very beautiful, atmospheric and poignant. This is a place of power. I liked the phrase that in Armenia, the main value in temples is not the rich decoration, but the people who come there.
