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.

Through the city of Dilijan, we will make a stop at the monastery of Gosh-Goshavank. This historical church is located in the heart of nature and beautiful village which has the same name.

40 min

The monastery of Haghartsin dates back to the 10th -14th centuries. The name is translated as “the play of the eagle”. The scenery is somewhat similar to a stunning work of art, with both the monastery and the nature surrounding it providing a breathtaking view.

Dilijan is a picturesque town, often referred to as the "Switzerland of Armenia" due to its stunning natural beauty. Walking along the oldest street, Sharambeyan, you'll be captivated by wooden houses, many of which date back to the 19th century.
