During your stay in Armenia, you simply can't miss the chance to visit one of the country's most iconic landmarks—the stunning Lake Sevan.
Nestled at an elevation of 1,900 meters above sea level and surrounded by a majestic range of mountains, this spectacular lake is a must-see.
You'll climb to the Sevan Peninsula, where breathtaking panoramic views of the lake await you from the summit. While there, you'll have the opportunity to explore Sevanavank Monastery, which houses one of Armenia's most exquisite Amenaprkich (All Savior) Khachkars. This remarkable crosstone is among the 13 rarest in the country, depicting Jesus in a truly beautiful way.
