Here we will also climb to the top of the peninsula "Akhtamar", explore the Sevan monastery (9th century). There are several legends about the origin of the name Sevan. But the most common of them is that once the Van Armenians, forced to leave their lands, moved to the shores of Lake Sevan, reminding them of their homeland. But the cold and harsh mountain climate did not like them. Recalling the soft and warm air of Lake Van, they bitterly exclaimed: "Black Van (Sev Van) has got us, black Van!"
