Autumn in Armenia is all about weddings, right? It’s that time when the weather’s just perfect – not too hot like the summer, not too chilly. No wonder more and more couples are jetting off on honeymoons during this cozy season.
A number one question for a travel agent this season is “What do you recommend for a honeymoon?” Levon Travel, a top player in organizing dreamy getaways, knows what to choose.
Back in the day, most newlyweds kept it local, celebrating within Armenia. However, now honeymoons abroad, and trips to very exotic destinations like Bali or Seychelles, are the go-to. Therefore, the demand for a honeymoon trip is sky-high.
This blog is your go-to guide on where to head after saying “I do.”Let’s explore the top spots perfect for that unforgettable post-wedding trip if you are traveling from Armenia.
