Our trip to Dilijan was wonderful, we felt in comfort being surrounded with forests all around. The mild climate and the great atmosphere made our holiday extravagant. Upon arrival we have made a request to the taxi driver to show us some historical places, the driver was very pleasant to make our wish come true. We have been to the churches available, and the 2 museums. After the trip we had a lunch at one of the restaurants nearby tried an Armenian delicious food that I forgot the name now, and then the driver offered us to stay at Dili Villa B&B if we wish to stay for longer. We have been very glad that we will be staying a day more in Dilijan city, we wished to enjoy the next day the nature, but unfortunately we found the B&B service awful. The place is not hygienic, not in good order, the toilets out of order and no hot water, the place smelled and the owner was a disturbing personality. I do not recommend this B&B to anyone. Next day, we have been to Parz lake and then we have been driven back to the city Yerevan the capital of Armenia.
