What To Expect
Lake Sevan
The fascination and the "pearl" of mountainous Armenia is Lake Sevan, which is one of the world's greatest high altitude fresh-water lakes. It is about 1900 m above sea level. The lake is of volcanic origin and is surrounded with mountains of 3000 m and higher. The beautiful landscape and the crystal water serve nice preconditions for excellent rest.The lake is also famous for its peninsula and medieval church complex, built in 874.
Monastery Sevanavank
A marvelous scene opens in the north-western part of Lake Sevan, where the peninsula towers over the transparent surface of the lake. Sevanavank monastery was built on the peninsula in 874 by the order of king Ashot Bagratuni's daughter – princess Mariam. The silhouette of the churches against the background of the turquoise lake and blue sky casts unexplainable impression on the visitors.

5.00A very interesting and informative excursion to Lake Sevan! Comfortable bus, professional guide Eduard and excellent driver Khachatur. On board the new minibus, Wi-Fi, bottled water and delicious gat pastries are provided. We were part of an international team, the guide led the tour in English and Russian. We learned a lot of interesting facts about Armenia! The program included church visits on a mountain near Lake Sevan, a boat trip on the lake. Then visited a great restaurant overlooking the lake and took a walk around the area. I recommend this travel agency and guide! Everything is professional, intellectual and organized at the highest level!

5.00We went to Lake Sevan with Karen as a driver and Sam as a guide and had a great experience. Sam was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly and helpful, we always knew what was going on and when we had to be where and felt well taken care of. Karen made an extra stop for us for a quarry to collect some sparkly stones to take home. Thank you both for the great day!
