From Yerevan: Lake Sevan Sevanavank Monastery Private Tour – Gegharkunik Province, Armenia

EXPERIENCE

Embark on a private tour from Yerevan and visit the jewel of Armenia, Lake Sevan, one of the world’s largest high-mountainous freshwater lakes. Discover one of the most prominent examples of medieval Armenian architecture Sevanavank Monastery on a rocky promontory in the lake.

Get picked up at your hotel in Yerevan, then drive toward Lake Sevan. Upon arrival at its northwestern part, explore the remnants of the Sevanavank Monastery, founded in 874 AD by Princess Mariam.

See the two temples Surb Arakelots and Surb Astvatsatsin standing among numerous khachkars. Marvel at the church buildings constructed from black tuff, which probably gave the monastery its name, Sevanavank, or the “Black Monastery.”

Enjoy the picturesque Lake Sevan, and as you explore, come to understand why Sevanavank Monastery is one of the most visited sights in Armenia. After your trip, return to Yerevan for drop-off at your hotel.
