Itinerary
The fascination and the pearl of mountainous Armenia is Sevan Lake, 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 higer. 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.
A marvelous scene opens in the north-western part of Sevan Lake, 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.

Traveler reviews
Just what we needed for the last day in Armenia
It was a light trip, which fitted our needs for the last day of our Armenian experience. The lake is beautiful.
Tour to Sevan
I am choosing Huyr Service for 3 years and glad that quality is the best and haven't changed along this period. This time I took a tour to Sevan (3rd time). Thanks to our driver Khachatur we got here fast and have enough time to visit all the places. And our professional guide Akop made the journey educational and fun!
Exploration of the region north of Sevan
A different route from the others, very green and wooded; the two monasteries by Lake Sevan are truly worth it, guide: Hayk, driver Spartak
Excellent day trip
Beautiful trip, the guide Hyke was very helpful and knowledgeable.
