This half-day tour from Yerevan offers an easy escape to Lake Sevan, where wide horizons, monastic history, a scenic boat ride and unhurried time by the shore come together in one relaxing outing. Over 5-6 hours, it blends Sevan's open water, the hilltop setting of Sevanavank and the simple pleasure of being by the lake into a compact experience shaped by scenery, fresh air and calm.

The first stop is Lake Sevan, one of the largest high-altitude lakes in Eurasia, followed by Sevanavank Monastery on the peninsula, where sweeping views open over the deep blue water. The program also includes a boat trip across the lake and free time by the shore, offering the chance to unwind, enjoy the scenery and, in warm weather, even take a swim.

Boat trips are subject to weather conditions.
