One day trip to lake Sevan with a car

On this day, you will see Armenia's largest lake, move up to the UNESCO-listed old monastery of Sevanavank, and visit the resort town of Dilijan.

Yerevan – Sevan: 64.2 km

Sevan is the world's largest freshwater mountain lake. It is situated at an elevation of approximately 2000 meters above sea level and is surrounded by mountains and valleys. You will be walking along the lake's beach, admiring the scenery and listening to the screams of seagulls. It's difficult to believe this isn't the sea! The driver will wait for you while you enjoy the peaceful ambiance before taking you to the bottom of the mountain where the Sevanavank Monastery is located.

Sevan – Sevanavank Monastery

The UNESCO World Heritage Site Sevanavank Monastery was established in the eighth century AD. You can walk inside after climbing 200 stone stairs (the climb is easy and suitable for children). The monastery has a spectacular view of Sevan and the Caucasus Mountains. The area now has two renovated churches. They are made of a unique substance called black volcanic tuff. There are also the ruins of two additional churches that were destroyed during the Soviet times.

Sevanavank – Dilijan: 31 km

Dilijan is a charming historic town with cobblestone roads and low-rise buildings. It appears to be a fairy tale or the setting for the film "Mimino" here. In the same manner, stone buildings with carved balconies were created. Views of the mountains and forests (the Dilijan Reserve is around) make you forget about the passage of time and help you recharge.

Dilijan – Yerevan: 96 km

When you walk around all these beautiful places, the driver will take you back to Yerevan. He will recommend where to stop for lunch and wait for you if you wish
