Lake Sevan – located at an altitude of 1,900 m above sea level in the center of the Armenian highland, 63 km northeast of the Armenian capital of Yerevan city and is the largest of the Caucasus lakes. From all sides, Sevan is surrounded by mountain ranges, offering a stunning view of alpine lake.. The lake is famous for its purest fresh water, and pure mountain air has a beneficial effect on health.
Monastery Sevanavank
The monastery complex Sevanavank is located on the peninsula of Sevan. In 305, it was founded by St. Gregory the Illuminator, who built the church on the place of a pagan temple. In the 9th century the princes of Syunik made Sevan a point of their suppurt. In 874 the wife of the Syunik prince Vassak and the daughter of the king Ashot Bagratuni – Mariam built here two churches – St. Arakeloc and St. Astvatcatcin. They are rich in various wood-carved capitals, a aprt of which is kept in the Armenia State Museum of History and in the Art Gallery of St. Petersburg (Hermitage).

5.00I am obsessed with the service I have received here. They made me love Armenia. Our guide was a very nice woman who spoke about the country with such a love, that I started to love the country even more. The girls in the office helped me find some must visit places in Armenia. I mostly admired blue Sevan. This country has a huge history and need more companies like JAN. Our driver was a real professional with English speaking skills, so he could communicate with us. In their company I felt like I'm with my friends.
I sincerely recommend

Our driver was Ara, a smart and professional driver. Thank you very much for the most interesting tour.
So we are very grateful. Thank you. You are very welcoming and nice people.

5.00Hi everyone, we were in Armenia for a week, in May. Originally we were with another tour guide company, and our holidays was going to became a disaster , but this guys saved it literally. We come across with them by accident, but they helped us, took us for a few sightseeings. We were even able to make choice of places we wanted to visit and combine them as we liked.
Great trip to Lake Sevan!
