Morning fog lifts off the road as your private car slips south from Tbilisi, the Caucasus pushing at the windshield. In an hour you cross the border and the hills change: pine-cut valleys, limestone ridges, and stone churches stepping down cliffsides. The first day places you beneath Haghartsin’s medieval arches and in the cool woods of Dilijan National Park; later, the cobalt bowl of Lake Sevan opens and the black-stone towers of Sevanavank stare across the water.
