Itinerary
Lake Sevan
The fascination and the "pearl" of mountainous Armenia is Lake Sevan, 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 higher. 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.
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.

Another great tour with Hyur Services
This is the third tour we've done with Hyur Services, and we were lucky to get both Sam and Spartag again! We had been with them on different tours separately, this was the first time together. I was immediately confident that this was going to be a great experience, and it was. It unfortunately rained hard at the end of our tour in Sevan, but you wouldn't know the drive was difficult with Spartag behind the wheel. The tour we had at the monastery in Sevan was fantastic. Sam is a terrific story teller, explaining the story of the khathkars, especially the one inside the monastery with the rare depiction of Jesus on the cross. He surprised us again with just how much he knows about the history and culture of so many regions of Armenia. Thank you again Hyur Services for another unforgettable tour with your amazing team.
