OVERVIEW
About Yerevan
Yerevan is one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities and makes an easy, walkable base for a Caucasus itinerary. Republic Square anchors the centre, and the Cascade Complex — a giant tiered staircase doubling as an open-air modern art museum — gives the best skyline view in the city, framed by Mount Ararat on clear days across the border in Turkey. The Vernissage market is the place for local crafts, carpets and souvenirs.
Yerevan's real strength is how much is reachable on a day trip: Garni Temple (the only Greco-Roman colonnaded temple in the former Soviet Union) and the cliffside Geghard Monastery are usually combined into one half-day route, while the Wings of Tatev cable car — one of the longest in the world — reaches the clifftop Tatev Monastery on a longer full-day trip. Armenian food centres on grilled meats, lavash bread and dried fruit, and the country is comfortable and welcoming for Indian travellers. Zvartnots International Airport (EVN) serves Yerevan directly. As with the rest of the region, confirm current visa or e-visa conditions for Indian passport holders, flight routing, hotel vouchers and travel insurance before booking. Smiles To Miles can build Yerevan into a standalone trip or combine it with Georgia and Azerbaijan as a full Caucasus circuit.
