Supetar, the capital and largest town of the Adriatic island of Vis in southern Croatia, is situated in the "Pearl of the Mediterranean". This small town by the mountains and the sea is a blend of ancient Greek, Roman and Venetian history, with stone streets, medieval churches and red-tiled houses in the old town. Just 3 kilometers from the town, Stiniva Beach was named one of the most beautiful beaches in the world by National Geographic, with its stunning arched sea gates and turquoise waters. As the economic and cultural center of the island of Vis, Supetar is also known for its excellent wines (such as the local specialty Vugava white) and fresh seafood, making it an ideal base for exploring the caves of the surrounding uninhabited islands and sampling Dalmatian flavors. Convenient ferry connections to mainland cities such as Split attract travelers seeking tranquility and natural beauty.
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.
