The tour starts with a visit to Lake Sevan, a freshwater high-altitude lake, then we'll go up to Sevanavank located on a peninsula at the northwestern shore of Lake Sevan. Initially the monastery was built at the southern shore of a small island. After the artificial draining of Lake Sevan, the water level fell about 20 metres, and the island transformed into a peninsula.
