Lake Sevan: the pearl of Armenia – a complete recreation guide
Sevan is often called the Armenian sea, and this is not just a beautiful metaphor. The huge high-altitude lake occupies almost one fifth of the country's territory and is so vast that on its shores it is easy to forget that you are not by the sea. There is special air here, constantly changing water colors, and a sense of openness that you do not expect in the mountains. In summer people come here to swim and sunbathe, in autumn to walk along the shore and watch the sky reflected in the water, and in winter the lake turns into a picture painted by ice and wind. This guidebook brings together all the answers: how to get there, where to stay, what to taste, and which routes to choose so that a vacation at Lake Sevan will be remembered for a long time.
