Lake Sevan is the pearl of Armenia and it is so big that people often call it the sea of Armenia. This article has many interesting details about Lake Sevan, Sevan church, history of the lake, fishing, beaches, hotels and so on.
Sevan church usually called Sevanavank is a monastic complex situated at the northwestern shore of Lake Sevan in the Gegharkunik Province of Armenia, near the town of Sevan. The monastery was built in 874 by Princess Mariam, who was the daughter of the king Ashot.
Here are some facts about lake Sevan.
Some people say that the name “Sevan” came from the name of the monastery Sevanavank, which was constructed with the black stone called tuff, although today scientists prove that the lake itself is older than the monastery. Lake Sevan is considered to have a tectonic origin.
Sevan trout is one of the species of the lake, but now it is in danger because of some factors such as common whitefish, goldfish and crayfish. It is surprising but the Sevan trout is likely to become extinct in its own "land" lake and measures should be taken.
There are nearly 11 public lakeside beaches which are free for everyone, three of which offer additional free-of-charge services such as lounge chairs and umbrellas, medical aid, ports and playing grounds, as well as rescue services. Besides that, you can find also private areas.
