Vayots Dzor Landmarks, Armenia

The Main Tourist Sights of Vayots Dzor

Jermuk

Jermuk is the second largest city Vayots Dzor and one of the most well-known resorts in Armenia. The city became popular thanks to unique thermal-mineral springs around which the city has grown. “Jerm” means “warm” in Armenian.
