What to expect
Mariam, the daughter of King Ashot I, promised to build 30 churches in honour of her late husband. She kept her promise throughout her life. One of them, Sevanavank, was built in 874. Founded in the 4th century, Sevanavank experienced its development in the 9th century. Apart from the two standing churches, the unique khachkar of the 17th century, with its many biblical scenes, deserves special attention. The name of the capital, Yerevan, was recorded for the first time on the dome of Sevanavank.

Lake Sevan
The first place we will visit is Lake Sevan, the beauty of Armenia. Being 1900 meters above sea level, Sevan is the second-highest lake in the world with a freshwater supply. Sevan, of volcanic origin, is surrounded by mountain ranges divided into two parts and one large peninsula. Lake Sevan enjoys great popularity among tourists for both active and passive recreation. With a maximum depth of 83 meters, Sevan is the only one of the three historical Armenian lakes located on the territory of the Republic of Armenia.
60 minutes
Dilijan
The tour concludes with the Old Dilijan complex. On Sharambeyan Street, you can see typical 19th-century houses and wooden balconies. This street is considered the collective appearance of Old Dilijan, where the famous Dilijan architectural style is reflected.
60 minutes
Although it is customary in Armenia to use mainly tuff or basalt stones for construction, two types of stones were used for Haghartsin Monastery: travertine and basalt. Built of white stone, this monastery has had its own place in Armenian culture and education since the 10th century. The monastery had been built for about three centuries, in the beautiful valley of the Tavush forests, in the very heart of the forest. Here is also the refectory of the monastery, which is considered an architectural masterpiece. In addition to the actual structures, there is also a royal mausoleum here. By the way, very tasty gata is sold near here.
60 minutes
One of the most famous spiritual and educational centers of medieval Armenia is Goshavank, which got its name from the multi-talented clergyman and scientist Mkhitar Gosh. The collection of laws created by him is considered exceptional for its time, and was used in many legislations of the world to this day. The monastery complex consisting of five churches, three chapels, a vestibule, and a refectory, will not leave any curious tourist indifferent. The monastery is located in the Gosh village of the same name. The embroidered khachkar of the 13th century, belonging to master Poghos, deserves special attention.
