Jermuk, Armenia

We spent two nights in Jermuk, a place known for its mineral water. It was developed as a medical spa town during Soviet times. There still are several sanatoriums in town where you can receive treatments for different "conditions". The only treatments we looked for were fresh air and exercise!
