Armenia

The world’s first Christian nation, still singing.

CultureMountainsHistoryFoodValueShort Break

Armenia wears its 1,700 years of Christianity in stone: monasteries wedged into cliff faces, khachkar crosses carved like lace, and Mount Ararat presiding over Yerevan’s café terraces from across the border. The capital is pink-stoned, walkable and disarmingly good fun.

Three hours from the Gulf, it makes a superb short break with substance — Geghard’s rock-hewn chapels, the world’s longest reversible cable car swinging up to Tatev, Lake Sevan’s high-altitude blue, and brandy tastings at the cellars Churchill famously favoured.
