Sevan is a lake in Armenia; the largest and one of the most beautiful lakes in the Caucasus. This natural wonder, adjacent to the sky, is located in a huge bowl of mountains at an altitude of 1916 meters above sea level. Its water is transparent and pure, because, according to legend, only stars and gods drank from it.
Outstanding historians and travelers of the past spoke with admiration about Lake Sevan and called it the "lotus of the celestial Empire" – Narekatsi. Its area is about 5-10% of the total area of Armenia, and the national park of the same name, which also includes a lake intake and several nature reserves, occupies 1/6 of the country.
