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.
Port-au-Prince, the capital and largest city of the Republic of Haiti, is located on the western side of the Caribbean island of Haiti on the shores of the Gulf of Gonaïves and is the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of the country. The city was founded in 1749, replaced Port-au-Prince as the capital in 1770, and has shown resilience despite the devastation of the 2010 earthquake. As Haiti's most important port city, Port-de-Paix dominates the country's trade, exporting agricultural products such as coffee, sugar, and cocoa, and its industry is based on sugar, textiles, and food processing. With a population of approximately 2.8 million, the city is one of the most historically and culturally diverse in the Caribbean, with a unique blend of African, European and indigenous cultures, voodoo traditions, colonial architecture and vibrant street art.
