Mayravank (Solak)

Mayravank is a medieval Armenian monastery complex located on a cliff near the village of Solak in the Kotayk Province. While much of the site consists of ruins, the Surb Astvatsatsin Church, dating from the 11th to 12th centuries, remains standing. Visitors go here to see the surviving ecclesiastical architecture and the surrounding evergreen landscape in a quiet setting.

Getting There

The site is located near Hrazdan. From the city centre, the most reliable way to reach the monastery is by car or hired taxi. The drive typically takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic and the specific starting point within the city.

Visit Duration

Because the site is small and focused primarily on the single standing church and the surrounding ruins, allow roughly 1 to 2 hours to explore the grounds and the immediate perimeter.

When to Visit

The monastery is generally not crowded, making it suitable for visits at any time of day. Spring and autumn are recommended for milder temperatures, while winter visits may be affected by snow in the Kotayk highlands.
