Often referred to as the "Sea of Armenia", Lake Sevan has its place as part of the country's national heritage to the same extent that Yerevan and the monasteries do.
My suggestion
If you visit the lake (and as with everywhere else in Armenia), consider going to see the celebrated monasteries, including that of Sevanavank, which sits on the end of a peninsula at the edge of the lake.

Lake Sevan is one of the world's largest high-altitude lakes and is very popular amongst the Armenians themselves as a summer holiday spot.
My suggestion
To really get the most out of the joys of bathing in Lake Sevan, I recommend staying at an establishment with its own private beach. Properly equipped public bathing spots around the lake are few and far between, and the facilities that there are tend to be run down.
