What To Expect
Lake Sevan
The high-mountainous Lake Sevan is the “pearl of Armenia”. 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.
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). In 1869 a spiritual school opened in the complex. On the top of the mountain of the island the remnants of the church with a domed hall are preserved. The teritory of the cloister is rich in khachqars (cross-stones).

5.00This was a magnificent trip. Our guide Ara Sargsyan was extremely helpful ensuring he took care of us. There was no rush to move from place to place. He encouraged us to take our time. The places itself was breathtaking. Although you may have to walk a bit to explore, it is worth every penny.

5.00We had an absolutely wonderful experience on our one-day tour covering Lake Sevan, a couple of breathtaking monasteries, Lake Parz, and the charming town of Dilijan. The itinerary was perfectly planned, allowing us to enjoy the natural beauty and cultural richness of Armenia without feeling rushed. Lake Sevan was simply stunning — the panoramic views were serene and refreshing. The monasteries we visited were awe-inspiring, each with its own unique history and peaceful ambiance. Lake Parz was like a hidden gem tucked in the forest — calm, scenic, and perfect for a short walk or just soaking in nature. A special mention and heartfelt thanks to our driver, Tigran Tatosyan, who truly made the trip exceptional. He was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly warm. His smooth driving and friendly personality added to the comfort and joy of the journey. We felt safe and well taken care of the entire time. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the natural and cultural beauty of Armenia

5.00Enjoyed beautiful views in clear weather on Lake Sevan, then strolled along the already cloudy-cozy Dilijan and at the end visited the monastery - unique architecture, of course, it is worth seeing and feeling yourself! Special thanks to the wonderful tour guide Anna, who was very interesting to listen to!
