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.
Nasak is a small settlement on the west coast of Greenland, located on the shores of the Nasakfjord about 50 kilometers south of the capital Nuuk. It belongs to the municipality of Sermersooq and has a permanent population of about 150, making it an ideal destination for experiencing Greenland's traditional Inuit culture.
Surrounded by spectacular icebergs and rugged mountain ranges, Narsaq offers a view of the Midnight Sun in summer and a chance to see the Northern Lights in winter. Due to the influence of the West Greenland Warm Current, the climate is relatively mild, with average temperatures of around -10°C in winter and up to around 10°C in summer.
The local economy is based on fishing and hunting, and is particularly famous for cod and seal fishing. Traditional festivals are held every summer and visitors can experience dog sledding, kayaking and hiking. The Nasak Church, built in 1906, is the community's landmark.
Nasak is connected to Nuuk by helicopter and seasonal boats, and there is no road system. Visitors have a choice of local homestay accommodations, and the best time to travel is from May through September to participate in glacier hiking and whale watching.
