The first place where we will stop today is Lake Sevan. It is in the north from the capital of Armenia, at an altitude of 1900 meters above sea level. It is one of the most beloved places of the Armenian population and here you will often meet foreign visitors as well. Another ancient temple of Armenia - Sevanavank, which dates to the 8th century is located on the territory of Lake Sevan. Sevanavank is located on theSevan Peninsula and its history is associated with the spread of ascetic life on the territory of Armenia. The ascetic life of the Armenian Church starts from this place, and the construction of the main temple is connected to the name of Queen Mary, who is a representative of the Armenian dynasty - the Bagratuni. On the territory of Sevanavank temple we will meet the pearl of Armenian architecture - KHACHKHAR. Khachkhar means a stone cross - a cross made of stone in the Armenian language. Khachkar is one of the main symbols of centuries-old Armenia and it is not widespread in the culture of any other country in the Caucasus region. Armenian Khachkar never repeats the existing ornaments, and it always has a distinctive handwriting. It is included in the UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage List.

The stone cross is a clear example and the main symbol of the Armenian faith, that can withstand many hardships and maintain the great faith in Jesus Christ many centuries later

Tour in Dilijan – Tavush region.The Armenian paradise of Tavush region is rich in both natural and historical monuments. The monastery complex of Haghartsin, one of the wonders of Armenian medieval architecture, is located 18 km to the north of the resort town of Dilijan.

The monastery complex of Haghartsin represents an amazing harmony of architecture and nature. Haghartsin, like many Armenian monasteries built between the 7th and 13th centuries, belongs to the group of dome-shaped which is called “katoghike” in Armenian. Typically, church dome is supported by four columns that dominate the ensemble and are considered its central structure. Very often monastery ensembles include several churches and chapels, and Haghartsin is no exception.

There are a lot of beautiful but “hidden” places in Armenia, and Parz (Clear) lake is one of them.

It is in Dilijan National Park (Tavush region of Armenia), at the altitude of 1400 meters above sea. It is about 7 kilometers far from Dilijan city. The lake is surrounded by forests. Water in the lake is transparent, a little greenish. As the forests are very close to the shoreline, the massive trees, leaning to the lake, are reflected in the water”. There are many cozy restaurants and cafes in the lake where you can spend your time, ride horses, or organize a family picnic.

This place is one of the most famous natural landmarks of Dilijan.
