Small ethnographic museum.
The biggest monastery near Ijevan (if you count Goshavank as part of Dilijan's turf), this purple and green stone complex in the forest above the village is a popular spot for a picnic.
This canyon is a like a time machine, where once you are past the top of the village, traces of modern life disappear. You are left with beautiful cliffs, forests, rivers, cascades, caves with deep carvings resembling Mayan or Aztec work, and a small camping area with a tree-house, a tiki-style bar, and other shelter made from the sticks and logs of the canyon. It is an awesome place where a guide will take you in, and set up your camping and food for you. Just call!
This red brick monastery is covered in the Shamshadin section surrounding Berd, but it's quite close to Ijevan.
This 7th-century Armenian church in the ruined Azeri village of Askipari, is in Azerbaijan. Armenia now controls the territory now and the church is easily seen from the new highway, which is wholly in Armenia.
Some smaller and less significant or impressive churches in the area include the village churches of Gandzakar and Yenokavan, the smaller monastery or Moro-Dzoro near Lusahovit, and Ijevan's own smaller new church.
Holy Apostles Monastery
13th-century monastery. It was abandoned after Armenian genocide of 1915 and then blown up in 1960s. Today it's no more than ruins.
8th-century Armenian monastery.
There is also a shop selling jams, wines and juices.
Try this and other Armenian handicrafts (crochet, embroidery) with Telik Handmade. Hasmik Margaryan created Telik Handmade to restore the centuries-old traditions of Tavush traditional carpet weaving, embroidery and other handicrafts, making them applicable in modern life. One of Telik’s goals is not only to rediscover the art of threads, but also to help improve the quality of life of women living in Ijevan and nearby villages by creating sustainable employment opportunities for them. Their brand, Telik, now attracts international attention and their workshop has become a tourist attraction in Ijevan. The carpet-weaving class allows you to work with a small, partially woven carpet with a design from the Tavush region. You will finish the craft activity and take it home as a souvenir. You may also try your hand at needlework techniques, such as embroidery or crochet.
