Largest Lake In Caucasus
Another reason tourists flock to Armenia is for its gorgeous lake, Lake Sevan. In fact, Lake Sevan is the largest and deepest lake in the North Caucasus. Seven covers about one sixth of the country’s entire territory, if that gives you a rough idea of how enormous and special this lake is! In addition, the Sevanavank monastic complex overlooks the lake and is one of the top tourist sites.
Famous For Their Cognac
Listen, if wine isn’t for you and you want something a bit stronger, you’re in luck. You see Armenia is also known for their smooth but robust cognac, which is technically brandy. Their cognac first became widely popular when Joseph Stalin gave it as a gift to Winston Churchill at the famous Yalta Conference. After that, Churchill continued to have cases of Armenian cognac shipped to him annually! Some say Putin also has it shipped to Russia often.
