Armenia is better for holidays than Switzerland: Komsomolskaya PravdaJanuary 20, 2018 - 11:55 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Voronezh International Airport has been offering direct flights to Yerevan since December 2016, Komsomolskaya Pravda-Lipetsk says in an article, adding that the residents of the Russian city will spend 2 hours to reach Armenia, which is home to one of the most hospitable nations. The publication says that spending time in Armenia is even better than in Switzerland. The country ideally suits both for recreation with friends and for a family celebration: "Every day spent here will remain in your memory forever. Fabulous places, warmer climate, local cuisine, good-natured and affable people who speak and understand Russian make the trip to this country unforgettable.” The author recommends visiting the resort town of Tsaghkadzor in Armenia to enjoy skiing, snowboarding and the cable car: "People who are famously cruising along the slopes of Tsaghkadzor say that the routes here are nothing worse than those in Switzerland, but the prices are more acceptable." The publication notes that despite the lack of access to the sea, Armenia houses the beautiful Lake Sevan, also recommending to try the famous trout-ishkhan. Other sites worth visiting in Armenia include the ancient pagan temple of Garni, the monasteries of Geghard and Khor Virap, the carpet factory Megerian Carpet, which produces rugs for Hollywood stars and Russian president Vladimir Putin, as well as dried fruit markets, souvenir shops and, of course, Yerevan.
