Tatev Holidays
Tatev is a monastic complex dating from the Middle Ages that sits on the edge of a precipice in southeast Armenia. Back in the Middle Ages, the monastery hosted what was one of the most prestigious universities of its time.

What our travellers think of their stay
Built in the 9th Century, the Tatev Monastery is the most illustrious site in Syunik, southern Armenia.
My suggestion
Just above the monastery you'll find a useful information centre, which has details on local accommodation and walks.

My suggestion
There are two ways to get to Tatev: via the road or by riding on the cable car system that opened in 2010. Both options are interesting in their own way. I therefore recommend arriving via one and returning via the other (which is what I did).
