Goris is a scenic town located in the Syunik Province in the southern part of Armenia, nestled among the mountains and known for its historical stone houses with distinguishable red roofs, nestled within a dramatic landscape shaped by the Goris River gorge. The town is often praised for its unique architecture, traditional character, and well-preserved 19th-century dwellings. It serves as a perfect base for exploring the medieval Tatev Monastery, accessible via the Wings of Tatev, which is the world's longest non-stop double track cable car. The surrounding area is also rich in natural beauty, featuring the peculiarly shaped rock formations of the Goris rock forest, and is also close to the mysterious cave village of Khndzoresk, which was inhabited until the 20th century. Goris provides visitors a chance to experience Armenia's rich cultural tapestry, including delectable local cuisine, hospitable locals, and a tranquil environment that contrasts with the hustle of modern cities. Its history, architecture, and vistas make it an essential stop for anyone touring the southern part of Armenia.
