Amoumè is a quiet town in the south of the West African country of Togo, located in the Maritime Region, about 30 kilometers north of the capital city of Lomé, in the plains along the Gulf of Guinea. Rooted in traditional Ewe culture, the town's inhabitants are mainly engaged in fishing, agriculture (e.g. cassava, maize cultivation) and small-scale trade, and live a slow and simple life. Dotted with coconut groves and lagoons, the town's natural beauty is mirrored by the local craft market, a window on the southern Togolese vernacular. Despite its small size, Amlame is one of the smallest towns on the Togolese coast, thanks to its proximity to Lomé and its unique cultural scene.
Sevan is a small town in the Armenian province of Gegharkunik, located in the eastern part of the country on the shores of Lake Sevan, about 66 kilometers from the capital city of Yerevan. The town is famous for its eponymous alpine lake, Lake Sevan, one of the largest freshwater lakes in Eurasia, at an altitude of about 1,900 meters above sea level, which is known as the "Pearl of Armenia".
Lake Sevan is surrounded by magnificent landscapes and crystal clear waters, making it an important tourist and recreational destination in Armenia. The town boasts historical monuments such as the Sevan Monastery, a 9th-century monastery situated on a peninsula overlooking the lake, which attracts many tourists and pilgrims. The local economy is based on fishing, tourism and agriculture, and the climate is cool enough for summer vacations.
With a population of around 20,000, the town of Sevan retains its traditional Armenian culture, while the infrastructure is constantly being improved to provide accommodation and catering services. It is an ideal starting point for exploring the nature and history of the Caucasus and is easily accessible for short trips.
