Dilijan National Park is one of the four national parks of Armenia. Occupying an area of 240 km², it is located in the north-eastern Tavush Province of Armenia.

The park, which was only established in 2002, is known for its forest landscapes, rich biodiversity, medicinal mineral water springs, natural and cultural monuments, and extensive network of hiking trails. Many of Armenia’s important cultural locations can be found within the grounds of the park (i.e., Haghartsin Monastery, Goshavank Monastery, Jukhtak Vank, Matosavank Monastery and the Akhnabat church).

 Yerevan is the capital (since 1918) and largest city of Armenia as well as one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities. It is the administrative, cultural, and industrial center of the country.

A visit to the Armenian Genocide Memorial can teach you a lot about Armenia’s past, while climbing the Cascade stairs is also a must. Other places worth visiting include the Vernissage flea market, the Blue Mosque, and Levon’s Amazing Underground World (one of Europe’s most unique attractions). Furthermore, a walk through the Hrazdan gorge is also highly recommended.

Lake Sevan is the largest body of water in both Armenia and the Caucasus region. The lake is located in the Gegharkunik Province, at an altitude of 1,900.44 meters above sea level and its total surface area amounts to about 5,000 km². Lake Sevan makes up 1/6 of Armenia’s territory and it is fed by 28 rivers and streams.

Sevan has significant economic, cultural, and recreational value. Its peninsula is home to a Sevanavank Monastery. Additionally, sunbathing and windsurfing are among the popular recreation activities available at the lake, which also has a wide choice of excellent seafood restaurants along its shore.
