“I would highly recommend a vacation in Armenia [above, an ancient Armenian church]. What a beautiful country. I used Adven Tour. They meet you at the airport and offer seven- and 14-day tours with lots of Christian history. The hospitality is great.”Adven Tour, 39 Pushkin St., Yerevan, Armenia, 375002; 011-374-10-53-9609, www.armeniaexplorer.com. Tours from around $1,000.
