The road peels away from Tbilisi and the city’s hum shrinks behind you. In an air-conditioned private vehicle, the landscape grows sharper: folded ridges of the Lesser Caucasus, rivers that dare you to follow them upstream, and the gleam of a high lake flashing like a coin on the horizon. Stops at Lake Sevan’s peninsula church, the needle-quiet forests around Dilijan, and a centuries-old monastery break the drive into a series of small, memorable journeys rather than a single transfer.
