Highlights
- Lake Sevan - Lake Sevan is the largest body of water in Armenia and the Caucasus region. It is one of the largest freshwater high-altitude (alpine) lakes in Eurasia. The lake is situated in Gegharkunik Province, at an altitude of 1,900 m above sea level. Its colors and shades change with the weather and by its own mysterious processes, from a dazzling azure to dark blue and a thousand shades in between.
- Monastery Sevanavank - Sevanavank Monastery is a monastic complex 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, which started in the era of Joseph Stalin, the water level fell about 20 meters, and the island transformed into a peninsula. According to an inscription in one of the churches, the monastery of Sevanavank was founded in 874 by Princess Mariam, the daughter of Ashot I (who became a king a decade later). At the time, Armenia was still struggling to free itself from Arab rule.
- Haghartsin Monastery - Haghartsin Monastery is a 13th-century monastery located near the town of Dilijan in the Tavush Province of Armenia. It was built between the 10th and 13th centuries (in the 12th under Khachatur of Taron); much of it under the patronage of the Bagratuni Dynasty.
- Lake Parz - Lake Parz is a tranquil alpine lake in Dilijan National Park, Armenia, renowned for its crystal-clear waters and serene forest surroundings.

Worth for the views and ambience - The view from Sevan Monastery, the walk along Dilijan Historic Street, and the visit to Haghartsin Monastery were all worth it!
Our cab driver, Hovo, was excellent and proficient in English.

Amazing trip to Armenia - We had a wonderful trip to Armenia with Memory Makers in the end of June. The guides Levon and Hovo were amazing and showed us the places and gave us all details about it. They made sure whether we were always comfortable and supplied us with water and cold drinks whenever we got tired. Thank you Teresa, Levon and Hovo for making our trip so memorable.
Memory makers are highly recommended for all people travelling to Armenia.

Highlight of our trip - I wish I could give 6 stars. The guide (Arthur) embodied everything I know and love about the Armenian culture - warm, welcoming, generous, and proud. We went to Sevan and the weather was miserable (rain and wind). I forgot a jacket and Arthur offered me his. I declined but I appreciated the kindness. Having seen Sevan before, I can tell you it's amazing. We may not have experienced it this day but be prepared to take in gorgeous views. Next we headed to Dilijan which is a resort town in the valley of several mountains. My wife grew up in Armenia and vacationed here as a child. She was always terrified of the drive here and with good reason. The road is incredibly winding and the drivers in Armenia are a bit crazy. Arthur made the journey delighful and never did I feel unsafe. Old Dilijan is a quaint town where local artisans like woodworkers meticulously craft amazing works. From there we headed to Lake Parz which is a neat little spot in the National Forest. The highlight of the trip is Haghartsin. This place is so magical. A shiek from I believe UAE visited over a decade ago and was so impressed that he donated money to ensure the road leading here was paved properly and the site is maintained. This monestry is where you go to connect with God. On a fun note, get the gata from the bakery here. Trust me on this. Buy one to enjoy on the ride and buy another for later.
We can't thank Arthur enough for an amazing day! When we come back, we will certainly book another tour (or 2) with him.

Unforgettable trip to Armenia - Really like Levon's service. He made sure we were comfortable and was very helpful, even going the extra mile for us. If you have your own itinerary, he will plan the trip according to your preference as well.
