Family Trip - Lake Sevan
Lake Sevan is the largest body of water in Armenia and the Caucasus region. The lake is situated in Gegharkunik Province, at an altitude of 1,900.44 m or 6,235 ft above sea level. So It is one of the largest freshwater high-altitude (alpine) lakes in Eurasia.
I always loved swimming in the cool water of Sevan, it was one of my favorite destinations in Armenia since I was a child. Now every time when I stand on the shore of the lake, it brings up a lot of good and warm childhood memories.
You can find several old church around the lake but the most popular one among tourists is (Sevanavank) located on a peninsula at the northwestern shore of Lake Sevan.

Venturing into the oil-painting-like Lake Sevan | Armenia of my dreams!
| Armenia of my dreams! 🇦🇲 About 60 kilometers drive in Armenia, there is a place like an oil painting, called Lake Sevan, known as the "Blue Tear of the Caucasus", it is a plateau freshwater lake, accounting for three percent of the total area of Armenia, almost half the size of Dongting Lake. You can join a day tour, if there are many people, you can also rent a car directly in Yerevan and play all the way~
🌜For more than two thousand years, countless churches and castles have been built along the lake, and the ancient Silk Road also passed through here. Unfortunately, the sky was not beautiful this time, I didn't see the blue tears, I saw the gray tears💧, it is another scene~
🔥Attractions:
1, Sevanavank Monastery⛪
Sevan Peninsula is one of the most beautiful places of Lake Sevan, and Sevanavank Monastery (Sevanavank) is a landmark monastery complex located on the peninsula at the northwest corner of Lake Sevan, composed of two monasteries, one means saints, one means the Virgin,
⛪The monastery was founded in 874 AD, and has withstood the test of time⚡, still as strong as ever, making people feel as if they have returned to medieval Europe in an instant. The monastery is built by the lake, 🍂The yellow leaves in autumn and the black monastery are like an oil painting against the "blue tears"💧, it's so beautiful, walking by the lake will also make you feel calm!

Sevan: Navy Blue Water Lake
Where: Lake Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia
This lake is absolutely clear and transparent. In Summer it looks like navy blue. Surrounded by mountains it has a perfect view to the horizon. There are public and private beaches where you can swim. If you want less crowded area then better go to Shorzha area.
I enjoyed staying in the tent by the beach listening to the sound of waves and looking at the start sky.
