Dilijan Town, Tavush Region

Also known as the "Little Switzerland" of Armenia, this is a worthwhile place to see, and spend the night.  From this forested town with some traditional architecture, it is a brief trip to the beautiful monasteries of Haghardzin or Goshavank. Sharambeyan street near the bus stop has been preserved and maintained as an "old town Dilijan", complete with craftsmens workshops, a gallery and a museum. The cool green forests are a nice contrast to Ararat Valley, especially in the hot summer.
