Armenia in your ears — from the pink stone of Yerevan to a monastery on the edge of a cliff. Narrated audio guides to the places travellers actually go in Armenia. Download once and they play anywhere: in a gorge, on a marshrutka, at 3,000 metres — with no signal, no roaming and no data. START FREE The whole Yerevan guide is free, from a fortress raised in 782 BC to the singing fountains of Republic Square. Every other guide has a free excerpt, so you hear the narrator before you pay anything. NO SUBSCRIPTION — EVER Buy one guide, or unlock the entire library with a single payment and keep it for life. Nothing renews. Nothing expires. New guides are included in full access as they arrive. WHAT'S INSIDE • Yerevan — Republic Square, the Opera, the Cascade, the Matenadaran, Tsitsernakaberd (free) • Garni Temple — Armenia's only Greco-Roman temple, and the Symphony of Stones • Geghard Monastery — hewn into living rock, UNESCO World Heritage • Khor Virap — the deep pit of St Gregory, with Mount Ararat filling the sky behind it • Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin — the cathedral of the world's first Christian nation • Zvartnots Cathedral — the 7th-century rotunda an earthquake brought down • Tatev Monastery — cliff-top, reached by the world's longest reversible cable car • Sevanavank — two dark churches on a peninsula in Lake Sevan • Haghartsin — honey-coloured churches deep in the forests of Dilijan • Goshavank — a medieval university, and a khachkar carved like lace ...and more added over time. Every guide is cut into short chapters you can take at your own pace. BUILT FOR THE ROAD • Genuinely offline — the audio lives on your phone, it is not streamed • Chapter by chapter, so you listen while you walk and pause while you look • Every guide resumes exactly where you stopped • Plays in the background, with lock screen, AirPods and car controls • Open any site in Apple, Google or Yandex Maps, in one tap • Storage you control — see what each guide takes up, delete it, and it stays yours to download again TIPS FROM PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE Which ride app to use, and why there is no Uber. Why you need dram and not dollars. What to wear inside a monastery. Which sites pair up on one day's drive. Where the best gata is. Practical advice, not filler. ENGLISH AND RUSSIAN Both the guides and the app speak either language, and the two are chosen separately. Change either at any time. WHO IT IS FOR Independent travellers, road trips with a hired driver, cruise and layover visitors, diaspora coming home, and anyone who would rather have a story in their ear than follow a stranger holding an umbrella. No account. No sign-up. No ads. No tracking.
