Off all the place all over the world this is the center of holiness for the Armenian faith. Although somber history of how it got to be this place, one of the most resilient and welcoming faiths. One water taxi in and out. Tickets or mandatory donation is a must and well worth the private tour guide we had. She was polite, open to questions, knowledgeable and willing to answer. Keep in mind this is like Vatican to Catholics. Be respectful, polite, dress accordingly, and please leave your kids behind or let them lose in the yard (they won’t get lost or molested like other places of worship. In the eating haul or any other rooms, take note of living infrastructure and its age - the holly chair! It helps a lot if you know of the Armenian culture or someone to go back and brag to. If you have seen the other islands (MB can be had one day for both) this a very educational and nice day or half to spend time on. We have been to Venice many times and place gets packed. Get room for few nights, scape the tourist during the day to the other islands and enjoy the golden sunrise and sets of Venice all to yourself before and after tourist leave.

Beautiful Armenian Catholic monastery close to Venice. They run a tour at 3:25 pm and the tour guide was amazing. She knew so much about the monastery, Armenian history and the amazing library housed in the Island. If you have the time well worth visiting.

Most incredible place to see in Venice if your Armenian or your from another world this place has history and will give you goosebumps. My wife and I had a great experience in just less than two hours of the presentation. I highly recommend to see this place.

Extraordinary collection of centuries worth of quality art, books and artifacts in a humble setting. It's not a museum. Felt like historical time capsule. Our English speaking guide was excellent. One of the highlights of our trip. Note: only open at 3:25pm so cannot access the island or monastery prior to that time. The tour is approximately 1 hour 45 minutes. Ferry #20 is only public transport. Approximately 15 minutes ride
