The lake is of volcanic origin and is surrounded with mountains of 3000 m and higer. The beautiful landscape and the crystal water serve nice preconditions for excellent rest.The lake is also famous for its peninsula and medieval church complex built in 874.
- Monastery Sevanavank - A marvelous scene opens in the north-western part of Sevan Lake, where the peninsula towers over the transparent surface of the lake. Sevanavank monastery was built on the peninsula in 874 by the order of king Ashot Bagratuni’s daughter princess Mariam. The silhouette of the churches against the background of the turquoise lake and blue sky casts unexplainable impression on the visitors.

Beautiful views, amazing history - Our guide, Sam, was incredibly knowledgable! We learned so much about Armenia on our drive. Lake Sevan was beautiful, and the monastery was incredible. We especially loved our lunch in a little cottage overlooking the lake! Our driver Ararat was also great. Highly recommend!

Splendid Driver to Beautiful Lake - Hratch was a wonderful driver and treated us in a very friendly way. He brought us to a restaurant which served delicious fish and got us to Lake Sevan and back to Yerevan most safely and comfortably. Lake Sevan was absolutely splendid and Sevanavank was very beautiful.

Private tour to Sevan Lake - Extremely well organized private half day tour to lake Sevan with Hyur!
Timing, service and tour were excellent. Comfortable car, bottles of water prepared for us, interesting tour during drive there.
Special thank you and words of gratitude to our guide Marina and our driver Grikor (Gregory) . They made this tour truly unforgettable and pleasant.!!! Marina is very knowledgeable and her English is perfect! They both were very polite, attentive and truly hospitable!
I also want to mention that the booking process was very user friendly. Lots of tours to choose from, both group and private. You can choose a date and time when booking a private tour. Also very convenient to have pick up and drop off from your preferred location.
There was an option to book with or without lunch. We had an option with lunch, and the lunch was set in a small cabin overlooking the lake. The local whitefish was served with rice and some starters.
Generally I am very happy with the service and organization of the tour.
Thank you again to Marina, Grikor and Hyur Service!

Extraordinary tour to lake Sevan and Noratus - Our tour with our driver Hamik was wondeful, very comfortable during the road. The landscapes around lake Sevan are amazing. It is great to discover some of the most beautiful monasteries of Armenia (Hayravank, Sevanavank) as well as the incredible khatchkars in Noratus. The restaurant near Sevanavank was also excellent.

Wonderful private tour around Lake Sevan - Had an amazing time with Hamik. He picked us up at our hotel in Yerevan, and drove us to the wonders of Hayravank, Noratus and Sevanavank, where he took us to an excellent fish restaurant right by the lake. Would definitely recommend for a half-day trip outside of the city

Totally recommend! - After a delicious dinner on the water, we had a private boat ride around Lake Sevan with our friends and family. We learned so much about Sevanavank and its history from our intelligent tour guide Meline. She was so sweet and kind, we absolutely loved spending our time in Armenia with her. We would love to return and see her again!
