The two places furthest apart here, Haghpat Monastery and Khor Virap, are only 140 km from each other. Around Mother Armenia, in the south, Etchmiadzin Cathedral, St. Hripsime, Republic Square and Garni Temple sit within 25 km.
Expect to lose points here, because at least half the photos are rated hard. Photos rated hard include St. Hripsime, Sanahin Monastery and Gyumri. None of them is rated easy. Khor Virap is a monastery on a hill with Mount Ararat filling the horizon behind it.
