High in the embrace of Armenia's mountains lies Lake Sevan – the blue heart of the land, beating in harmony with the winds and the sun. Legend tells that once a green valley stretched here, until the heavens shed their tears, filling it with shimmering water as a priceless gift to humankind.

From the northwestern shore of Lake Sevan, a breathtaking panorama unfolds: a peninsula rises from the shimmering surface, crowned with ancient temples. Here, in 874, at the command of Queen Mariam, daughter of King Ashot Bagratuni, the Sevanavank Monastery was built – the spiritual guardian of Armenia's blue jewel.

3. Noratus Cross-stones

In the heart of Gegharkunik, not far from the serene shores of Lake Sevan, lies Noratus a vast khachkar (cross-stone) cemetery where stone has become an eternal manuscript, written by the hands of ancient masters. Beneath the open sky stand hundreds of khachkars, each one a chapter of history, each a silent prayer carved toward the heavens. The most treasured are the finely chiseled monuments of the 13th-14th centuries, where delicate lines intertwine with deep symbolism, carrying the unmistakable signature of the craftsman. Walking among them, one feels time dissolve: some stones radiate stern majesty, others display fragile lacework, as if the carvings come alive beneath the sun's touch.

We were in a small group with Dr. Jane Mahakian Oct.19-25. Sonny was our guide. She was INCREDIBLE, soooo knowledgeable and sweet. She was very flexible and caring. We LOVED her!! I cannot imagine a better guide!! Our drivers were also fantastic, especially on Friday, Oct. 24. I'm so sorry I can't recall his name. Please acknowledge all the wonderful, excellent people, especially Sonny! Thank you so much. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM ALL and will use them again next time I am in Armenia!
