Itinerary

Lake Sevan
Lake Sevan

Lake Sevan is situated in the north–eastern part of Gegharkunik province of Armenia, 60 km to the north-east from Yerevan. Together with Lake Van and Lake Urmia, Lake Sevan is one of the three great lakes of the Armenian Highland and the historic Armenian Kingdom known as Mets Hayq (“Mets” meaning “Great” and “Hayq” meaning the “Armenians Motherland”). The two lakes, Van and Sevan, were called “the blue eyes” of the Armenian Kingdom. Lake Sevan is at the altitude of about 1,900 m above the sea level. It is surrounded with the Vardenis, Geghama, Pambak, Areguni and Sevan mountain ridges. The promontories of Noratus and Artanish and the underwater cordon, Shorzha knoll, are dividing the Lake into Major and Minor Sevan. Famous for its temples and cross-stones, the Sevan peninsula is settled in the north-western part of the Lake.

Sevanavank Monastery

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.
