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.
Located in the Lau Group of the Republic of the Fiji Islands in the South Pacific, Moala Island, Fiji, is a tranquil island of pristine natural beauty and rich indigenous culture.

The island's tropical rainforest covers the rugged interior, where waterfalls and streams intertwine to create a unique ecological landscape.
Moala Island retains Fiji's traditional 'indigenous Fijian culture' and visitors can explore the local villages, participate in the traditional Kava Ceremony and experience the warmth and hospitality of the Fijian people. Accommodation on the island consists of small resorts and bed and breakfasts, offering a close-to-nature living experience. The best time to visit is from May to October each year, when the climate is dry and sunny, suitable for all kinds of sea activities.
