Marrubiu is a small town in the province of Oristano, Sardinia, Italy, not an independent state. It is situated in the fertile plains of western Sardinia, about 15 kilometers from the Mediterranean coast, and has a population of about 5,000. The town's economy is based on agriculture and traditional handicrafts, and the surrounding area is rich in grapes, olives and wheat.
Marubiu has retained its unique Sardinian countryside, with stone buildings and churches in a medieval style. The annual summer festival of San Giovanni attracts visitors to experience traditional singing, dancing and food. The neighboring Spiaggia di San Giovanni, with its golden sand and turquoise waters, is a popular resort for sailing and diving.
Marubiu is a 1-hour drive from Cagliari or Oristano, and we recommend pairing it with a visit to the nearby archaeological site of Talos. The best time to travel is from May to September, and the local sheep's cheese and Vermentino wine are specialties not to be missed.
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.

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.
