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.
Sejkov, a small village in the Snina District of the Prešov Region in eastern Slovakia, is situated in the hinterland of the Carpathian Mountains, close to the Slovak-Ukrainian border, and attracts tourists with its unspoiled nature and traditional folklore. It is sparsely populated, with only about 300 people, and retains a typical Slovakian countryside: wooden farmhouses, winding gravel roads, and meadows dotting the hillsides. Surrounded by dense forests and crystal clear streams, it is ideal for hiking, bird watching and experiencing rural life. Traditional farming and handicrafts are still practiced in the area, and a folklore festival is held every summer, showcasing folk songs, dances and culinary specialties. As part of Slovakia's "Dark Sky Park" region, Čejkov's night skies are exceptionally pure, making it a secret destination for stargazers. Though small in size, the area is far from the hustle and bustle of the city, offering travelers looking for peace and quiet the chance to immerse themselves in the charm of the Eastern European countryside.
