Yerevan is often introduced as a city of ancient churches and pink tuff stone facades, but much of what travelers see today in modern Yerevan was created in the last century. After Soviet rule was established in Armenia in 1920, the capital was transformed into a showcase of socialist urban planning.

But what if we told you the real soul of this country isn't found in the city buzz? It's in the taste of a sun-ripened apricot plucked straight from the tree. It's in the quiet hum of a village waking up to the smell of baking bread. It's waiting for you, just beyond the city limits.

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.Trusted By

An unforgettable day in Armenia! 🇦🇲
This tour was the perfect combination of history, culture, nature, and Armenian hospitality. Garni Temple was absolutely fascinating, and Geghard Monastery was even more impressive in person — the atmosphere and rock-carved architecture are truly unique.
The lavash baking experience was one of the highlights of the day. It was wonderful to see this traditional Armenian craft up close, taste freshly baked lavash, and experience a little piece of local culture rather than simply visiting the sights.
Lake Sevan was the perfect way to finish the tour. The views from Sevanavank were breathtaking, and the whole day felt very well organized without feeling rushed.
Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the history and stories of Armenia really interesting. The transportation was comfortable, and everything was handled professionally from beginning to end.
If you're visiting Armenia and want to experience several of the country's most important cultural and natural highlights in one day, I would definitely recommend this tour. A beautiful experience and a fantastic introduction to Armenia! ❤️🇦🇲 -

Auto-translatedI went on an excursion to Lori with guide David. Friends, these are incredibly beautiful places that you should visit at least once in your life! I’m always drawn to the mountains, and they’re wonderful here! The Zarni-Parni complex will give you that from its viewpoint. Delicious food on terraces overlooking the mountains will make you feel like you’re flying and totally relaxed. David is a guide who’s passionate about history, and he’s also a very polite, attentive person. He’s great to travel with! Special thanks to David, the ace of mountain roads—he drives carefully. I recommend it to everyone!

Комплекс Зарни-Парни со смотровой площадки вам это обеспечит. Вкусная еда на террасах с видом на горы даст ощущение полета и релакса. Давид очень увлеченный историей гид, к тому же это очень вежливый, внимательный человек. С ним очень интересно! Отдельное спасибо асу горных дорог Давиду, ведёт машину аккуратно. Всем рекомендую!
