I feel lucky every time I travel alone. For example, the weather is super nice today, and the lake water is very blue. The moment I saw Lake Sevan☝️ “Oh my, this rivals Lake Sailimu!” Here, you must allow yourself to slow down. At an altitude of 1900 meters, slowly climb over two hundred stone steps to the top. The passage is narrow, so you have to walk slowly into Sevan Monastery to explore. Walk along the ridge⛰️, then slowly walk to the end of the island. At this moment, you will be surrounded by a 360-degree deep blue. Prepare a sun hat and lie flat on the grass🏝️. The wind carries the coolness of the lake, coming in waves. Lying on the cliff edge, gazing at the endless blue lake, all irritations will be soothed by the lake water. To spend a day like this in life is truly pleasant, satisfying, and healing. 🫓 There is a local delicacy in town called Lavash, a very thin flatbread, as thin as... a tissue, but as large as a bath towel! 🍜 There aren’t many restaurants, but Barev Cafe & Restaurant has a decent environment, and eating ice cream in the small courtyard is nice. 🚗 Take minibus 317 in front of Yeritasardakan Metro Station. ⏰ The one I took departs at 10 AM; I heard there might be one at 9 AM too, but I’m not sure. Friends who know🧑‍🤝‍🧑 can guide everyone in the comments. 🎫 The minibus fare is 600 AMD per person one way, to the final stop at Sevan Lake town. 🚖 After arriving in town, take a Yandex Go taxi for 600 AMD to Sevan Monastery. 🚗 For the return trip, take a minibus at Sevan Bus Station in Sevan town. Some might not be labeled 317 but also go back to the city; just ask for the price. 🧴 Be sure to apply thick sunscreen❗️ The UV rays here are very strong.
