About Us
Dear friends,
We wish to introduce Armenia to you, the land of Noah's Ark, the cradle of civilisation. One of the
oldest countries in the world, where people are warm and friendly and hospitality is legendary. A country that is capable of provoking strong feelings and emotions.
Our wish is to make the visitor feel these emotions and this is why in 2005 we have founded Chirinian Travel, incoming tour operator. In fact, we have been present in the Armenia tourism market since 2001, the year when Armenia celebrated the 1,700th anniversary of Christianity as an official religion, and the year when John Paul II visited the country.
In the recent years, we have had an increasing number of tourists and the reason for that is that travelling to Armenia is an unbelievable experience for its rich culture and ancient history, for its extremely varied and untouched nature.
The interest from all over the world towards Armenia as a tourist destination has prompted us to found our travel agency in order to provide a high quality service to meet our clients highest demands.
Apart from classic tours, we can offer tailor made journeys for specific interest, such as
archeology, history, architecture, religion, or adventure travel.
Our customers are our friends, and we like to build long-term relationships with them. We are keen on understanding their requirements therefore being able to provide personalized itineraries customized to fit personal requirements.
Why you should travel with us
Our goal is to offer the visitor a paramount approach to the country so that the journey becomes a
moment of enrichment, discovery and acquaintance with a new culture.
Armenia, a land and a population with a history that spans back to the times of Babylon and Assyria and therefore rich in heritage and traditions that make it a fascinating country to visit. Strategically located since times immemorial at the traditional crossroads of commercial routes and merchant caravans from the Persian Gulf to the Black Sea, it linked Europe to Asia.
The area around the Lake Sevan, one of the world's largest high altitude lake, was part of the ancient Great Silk Road. A land that was conquered by the Romans, Persians, Arabs, Byzantines, and the Ottomans, but has time and again risen from ashes. A country that has much to offer with its well-preserved ancient monastic complexes, surrounded by an unspoiled and fascinating nature, its fortresses and temples, its legends, its ancient traditions. A territory as rich with history as its land is fertile and generous.
Our proposition is to take the visitor in close contact with the spirit, the soul of the country and its
people. And we make it possible by also including in the program such events as concerts, shows, folk dance and music performances to help our guests experience the full tatse of the traditional and multicoloured local customs.
Also the gastronomic experience is a discovery of new tastes and flavours absolutely unique and special. And after a generous dinner, in a typical restaurant, it will be likely to get caught up in the rhythm and sounds of local music. Also the busy markets and bazaars that are well worth a visit. The colourful spice market or the Vernissage that offers a great variety of handicraft of local origin ranging from silver, wood, carpets, souvenirs or art by local artists.
An excellent wine or a world class cognac tasting is also a worthy experience as well as sharing a meal with an Armenian family in the countryside where apart from the warm hospitality, you will be able to discover how the local bread is traditionally baked.
Our aim is to make you feel happy and satisfied on your return, enriched from a cultural and spiritual point of view and with a strong desire to come back. We want to let you know a different travel experience and make your holiday enjoyable and memorable .
Armenia makes it possible thanks to the fascinating beauty of its landscapes and nature, which are able to offer everlasting sensations and unforgettable memories.
