Spring is about rebirth, and nowhere is this concept more appropriately embodied than in Armenia, the most ancient of lands, and among the newest reborn states. Your eyes will feast on endless meadows of wildflowers, while your ears take in the sounds of roaring streams of melted alpine snows.

Summer in Armenia is a celebration of the sun. Sevan and its invigorating alpine waters, the weekend hustle and bustle of Armenia's outdoor arts and crafts markets, or simply a bite of a ripe luscious apricot, the fruit of Armenia. Treat yourself to a lazy evening walk through the cafe-laden streets of Yerevan, a hike under the bright Armenian summer rays, or embark on an inspirational climb to the heights of Mount Aragats.

As the end of summer ushers in the autumn, Armenia transforms into a collage of earth-tones with a golden hue. The most plentiful time of year for the harvest, Armenia's veritable cornucopia of local produce is a food connoisseur's dream. Autumn in Armenia also means the beginning of another school year, and Armenia's children, the pride and hope of the reborn country's future will most definitely put a smile on your face.

Serenity envelops Armenia in the winter as the last of the autumn colors fade away and the pristine snow falls to the ground. Winters in Armenia are an opportunity for friends and families to gather around the table and raise their glasses to their loved ones both near and far, appreciating the most important things in life. Winter is also the time when one can take on the elements in a ski ride through the mountains or a hike to a snow-covered church off the beaten track.
