After Tsaghkadzor we continue our trip to Sevan lake, which is the largest body of water in Armenia and the Caucasus and one of the largest freshwater high-altitude lakes in Eurasia.
Sevanavank: To complete our trip we visit Sevanavank, It is a monastic complex located on a peninsula at the northwestern shore of Lake Sevan in the Gegharkunik Province of Armenia, not far from the town of Sevan. Initially the monastery was built at the southern shore of a small island. According to an inscription, the monastery of Sevanavank was founded in 874 by Princess Mariam, the daughter of Ashot I (who became a king a decade later). At the time, Armenia was still struggling to free itself from Arab rule.
After our trip we will back to Yerevan.
