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.

We a bunch of friends visited Sevanavank and found it to be reasonably picturesque with lots of greenery for one to enjoy. All in all worth visiting once!
