Sevan: Sacred Places of High-Mountain

Overview of the tour in Yerevan

Tour route: Yerevan → Sevan → Hayravank → Noratus → Ереван

I Point
The legendary Lake Sevan is the largest lake in the Caucasus and one of the most visited attractions in Armenia. On the peninsula, on a high hill, is the famous Sevanavank Monastery, built in 874 by princess Mariam. Also on top of the hill, there is a small botanical garden and an observation deck, which creates a landscape as if you are standing in the center of Sevan.

II Point
Hayravank Monastery was built in the 9th century and is located on the shore of Sevan, on a hilly slope. The monastery complex is a striking example of Armenian cross-domed architecture. From the top of the hills opens a fantastic landscape on the lake, where you will have a great opportunity to make fabulous photos.

III Point
The last attraction of our beautiful excursion is the Cemetery of Khachkars Noratus, which is located in the village of the same name and is the world’s largest collection of these unique Armenian sculptures (about 1000 Khachkars). The oldest of the Khachkars (translated as Cross-Stone) dates from the 10th century AD.
