Retreat to a storied Soviet-era factory, nestled in the heart of the stunning Debed Canyon. With its rich history and breathtaking surroundings, the space offers an opportunity for visitors to work, create, or simply unwind.

Hike through the stunning scenery of the Debed and Marts canyons, to gems like Kobayr, Horomayr, and Bardzrakash Monasteries, Odzun's 7th century church, Tsater Cliffside Chapel, Tumanyan's birth house-museum, Alaverdi or to Tsover Lake. Countless trails have been around for centuries, though few know about them other than locals.

Thousands of interesting and fun matchbox label designs to enjoy, spanning many countries, themes and time periods.

Thousands of books in a number of languages, the majority in English. What's more appropriate in a town named after Armenia's favorite author than to spend a few days reading a great book?

Your Americano is waiting! Unless, of course, you prefer a chai! Flying Samovar Cafe serves up drinks and small bites in Tumanyan’s town square. Named after the retro 'Sputnik Samovar' on display, the cafe boasts an impressive collection of Armenian-themed posters from around the world and Soviet-era retro clocks from the Yerevan Clock Factory.

Rafting on the Debed River is a 1.5 to 2 hour, 11km adventure through some of Debed Canyon’s most beautiful landscapes.

Guesthouses

For added comfort and privacy, consider staying at one of the town’s cozy guest houses, private cottages, or apartments, all just a short walk from the town square. It’s the perfect blend of convenience and charm.

Bathhouse Hostel

Experience a stay at a Soviet-era bathhouse, now reimagined as Debed Canyon's first hostel. It's become a favorite spot for guests who often extend their stays. Perfect for budget travelers and backpackers.
