A very good place, an 800-year-old temple, a mountain lake. And of course, the air is mountainous, and it is much cooler than in Yerevan. You can swim in the lake. There are restaurants and cafes.

An ancient temple on a high peninsula. The scenery is impressive- a huge expanse of water in the middle of the mountains, from which the snow has not left. Definitely worth a visit. It was already possible to take a boat trip, but it was getting a little cold. At the foot there are a lot of restaurants and stalls with souvenirs and pomegranate juice. Our guide, after looking at the prices on the menu, took us 7-8 minutes further on the way to Dilijan. There are also restaurants overlooking the lake and the prices are significantly cheaper. The whitefish baked on coals was great.

Sevanavank Monastery and Lake Sevan. A harsh, cold place. Even in summer it's cool here, and the water temperature is +17 degrees. The place is purely touristic. If you want spiritual silence, it is better to drive on for 30 km and get to the Hayravank monastery.

A place of power, a place for reflection, awareness of being, where every minute is like a reminder of history, an event that has happened over the centuries.

We were taken on an excursion to Lake Sevan and we came to the monastery, words cannot describe the magical beauty that opens onto the lake and the peace next to the shrine, which preserves a thousand-year history. We were at a service on a day off, and we heard a church choir. And they saw the greatness in the temple.

The cape itself is amazing, the view of the lake is 360 degrees, there is a place to meditate. The temple itself is modest, austere, and dark. The climb is not the most convenient, if you get into the season at all, probably do not disperse on the narrow steps.

A beautiful monastery on the cape. It is worth getting up to take in the majestic panoramas of Sevan, with an old and elegant church against their background. The only thing is that sometimes too brisk trade is conducted on the steps, it tires.

The temple itself is beautiful, but its location is even more beautiful, being near it you can observe Lake Sevan completely, as much as the eyes see of course. I definitely recommend visiting all visitors.

Another interesting church that towers over the north. Very old. You need to be ready to walk high up the stairs. And, be sure to keep in mind the presence of strong winds. If it is strong, then the higher it is, the stronger and colder it blows.

A wonderful monastery! You should definitely go to the top of the hill and look in all directions at Lake Sevan and the surrounding mountains. After all, the monks knew how to choose the most wonderful places to build churches and monasteries. The surrounding beauty is simply breathtaking!

It was December 27th. It was snowing. Fog. Unfortunately, nothing is visible. I'm lowering my rating because I was upset by the huge number of touts, it's just impossible to pass calmly. The feeling of calmness and enjoyment from walking is lost. Admission to the temple itself is free. Parking is paid. 1000 AMD in cash, 1200 AMD by card (payment at the cafe). It seems that we were deceived with the cost of parking.

This is an iconic place, which is depicted on millions of postcards and paintings, an ancient church and a view of Lake Baikal.Sevan is a must-visit for everyone who comes to Armenia. To take a photo on her background. It takes about an hour to drive from Yerevan. It should be added that Sevan is located at an altitude of 1 km from sea level, and it is always much colder and warmer in Sevanavank than in the capital of Armenia, especially in winter.

A picturesque place. Climbing up the many steps to Sevanovank, you can enjoy an incredible view of Sevan. The monasteries themselves are not very remarkable, let's just say there are many of them all over Armenia. You can put a candle in temples, but it is better to buy it near the monastery, and not at the foot of the stairs, it is much more expensive there. Souvenirs are located along the length of the stairs, and Mir cards are accepted in several places. The toilet near the temple is paid, the visit to the monastery is free.

It's a beautiful place. There is a functioning church. There are no problems with parking. Even with a lot of people, you can manage to take photos without people. You can book a guided tour. Merchants are standing at the bottom and not on the rise.

Before the lake was crushed, the peninsula was an island, it was separated from the mainland by a 3-kilometer strait, so fishermen and fugitive criminals mainly settled on it. At the time when the monks chose the island, a stone wall was built encircling it with a watchtower and a small gate. Inside the wall there were four churches, cells for monks and numerous outbuildings.

A very popular monastery with stunning views of Sevan. The cost of free parking is 200 AMD (I wonder who is protecting this "business" and whether the authorities are not ashamed to ignore this shame). There are a lot of goodies and souvenirs in the walking area. Climb up the steep steps to the monastery, calculate your strength.

The monastery is located on the shore, surrounded by the expanses of the lake, which, by the way, is very large. In April, it is still cool and there is practically no greenery. The architecture, as in the whole country, is strict and at the same time monolithic and unshakable, it will stand for the same amount of time. It is better to choose the time for swimming closer to August. Purely for the sake of Sevanak, I do not recommend going, but I recommend the intermediate stage to Dilijan :)
