Budget & Tips
Yerevan has plenty of cafe terraces for sunbathing in the summer months. And several swimming pools, in hotels or public and private, allow you to refresh yourself. The city's many beautiful parks with their fountains give a taste of a generous nature where hiking in the mountains is within easy reach of the capital. Finally, Armenia has no sea, but it does have the beaches of Lake Sevan, less than two hours from Yerevan, where in a wild and unspoiled nature, swimming, water sports and picnics are de rigueur, in summer of course.
To be booked
Many agencies and organizations offer trekking in the mountains, horseback riding, hang gliding and zip line courses (in the north-east of the country), and it is best to make reservations. But especially in the cities and regions, hotels generally offer their services to visit the region. In winter, the main mountain resort, Dzaghkadzor, an hour's drive from Yerevan, is very popular for the holiday season with local customers, especially Russian and Iranian, and here again, it's best to plan ahead.
