A classic of Armenian tourism, a monastery and the largest lake in the Caucasus, 2 by 1 m. Beautiful view, well-preserved architecture of the 11th-12th centuries

It's a cool place. Great views! Be sure to bring warm clothes with you. In Yerevan it can be plus 20-25, at an altitude of 2,000 m it can easily be plus five cold wind and fog.

Stunning view of Sevan. An ancient monastery. It is better to have a guide who tells you about this place.

The view is gorgeous, BLUNDERING! It's just an incredible place in general, We really love Sevan and specifically the view of it from Sevanavank. There are very beautiful paintings on the stairs. And the monastery is one of the most authentic!

Place of power) Previously, the monastery was on the island, now that the level in Sevan has become lower, it is already a peninsula. There are steps leading to the monastery. There are a lot of them and that's the beauty of it too. There are rest areas during the ascent. The monastery itself has survived its former glory and greatness, now there are only a couple of churches and the foundations of buildings, which now only remind of themselves with these foundations. But the view around is simply amazing. The color of the lake is azure, around the mountains, clouds and some kind of endless expanse. It's very cool.

Beautiful views and no more advantages. Climbing the mountain implies a "fun" adventure along a narrow and crooked staircase. And instead of expanding it somehow, the Armenians preferred to set up a bunch of stalls along the way, where they would persistently sell you cheap souvenirs and pomegranate juice. On the mountain itself sits a funny guy named Hamlet, who breeds a pigeon of desires for a service (like, he launched the bird and everything will come true). At the very peak, there is some kind of unfinished building with protruding fittings, or some kind of ruins. And as always, there's trash everywhere and not a single trash can. I asked a local where I could throw a plastic cup, so he says that it can be directly on the ground..

I was here as part of a group tour from Hyur Service. You can buy a souvenir coin in the machine as a keepsake, accepts only a 1000 AMD bill and does not give change. Despite the bad weather and heavy rain, I climbed the steps to the temple. I think the views here are even more stunning in good weather

We were here at the end of October 2024. Monastery on the shore of Sevan, beautiful view. Nearby is the writer's house, a Soviet-era building in the style of constructivism, which is also interesting to look at.

This is, as they say, a "must see" If you come to Armenia, you can get there in an hour by car. Lots of souvenirs. Lots of tourists. But you will always find beautiful views to photograph temples and lakes. Good luck!

It is obligatory to come to Sevan, but not to stop in Sevanavank is unacceptable. The beauty is of course because of the views from the hill on the peninsula, but everything else is not very important. But there is no tourist infrastructure available.

The stairs are covered by one or two, there is nothing heavy there, and then there are magnificent views. Souvenirs are more expensive in some places than in the center of Yerevan, but that's who came for what :)

A very beautiful place with a wonderful view of Lake Sevan. Be sure to visit when you are in Armenia. On the way from Yerevan, sea buckthorn and pomegranate juices are sold along the road, I also recommend it.

A very interesting attraction on the shore of Lake Sevan. The complex of the ancient monastery of the IX century is located on the peninsula. The views of the mountains and the lake are breathtaking. Parking is 200 AMD. The rest (Excursion, pigeon launch, souvenirs) is optional. Admission is free, so no one cleans up the garbage.
