Sea of Armenia🌊

🏞️ Sevan Lake (Seven Lake) Overview • Location: Gegharkunik Province, about 70 km from Yerevan. • Fun fact: People often call it “Seven Lake” because the name Sevan sounds like Seven. • Specialty: Known as the “Sea of Armenia” since the country has no coastline, and this lake is huge—covering about 5% of Armenia’s land. ⸻ 🌊 Why It’s Famous • One of the largest freshwater alpine lakes in Eurasia. • Surrounded by mountains, giving peaceful and breathtaking views. • The water changes colors from turquoise to deep blue depending on sunlight. • Sevanavank Monastery (9th century) is a top attraction right on the lake. ⸻ 🎣 Things to Do • Relax on the shore or swim (summer is best). • Go for a boat ride. • Try local dishes—especially Ishkhan trout, a special Sevan Lake fish. • Explore monasteries and hiking trails nearby. ⸻ 🌤️ Best Time to Visit • Summer (June–August): Perfect for swimming, boating, and picnics. • Autumn (September–October): Cool, clear skies, amazing scenery. • Winter: The lake freezes—very unique and beautiful in snow.
