Garni Temple
Situated around 20 miles (32 km) from the capital of Yerevan,
the Greco-Roman Garni Temple is a popular tourist attraction
putting Garni on the map. This 2,000-year-old building was
constructed out of basalt and was the summer residence of the
Armenian Kings and features several constructions including a
two-storey royal summer palace, a bath complex, a church, a
cemetery and a Greco-Roman temple built in the Ionic style.
Information & Facts
Address
Language
Armenian is the official language, and it has its own
alphabet. Russian is widely spoken and English is becoming more
prominent.
Money
The official currency of Armenia is the Dram (AMD), which is
divided into 100 lumas. Foreign currency can be exchanged at banks
as well as many hotels, with US dollars the most widely recognised
and easily changed, although notes should be in good condition.
Credit cards are not widely accepted other than in some large
hotels and restaurants. Travellers cheques should be in US dollars
to avoid additional charges and there are few ATMs in Yerevan,
including HSBC. It is advisable to carry plenty of small change in
local currency as shops and markets will often not have change.
Time
Local time in Armenia is GMT +4.
