Spandaryan Water Reservoir
Man made water reservoir on the main road between Yerevan and the south of Armenia. Armenia really is a breathtakingly beautiful country and this reservoir pops up by the side of the road against a back drop of mountains. We stopped on our journey for a photo opportunity. It was built around 1980 in the Arpa River basin, reportedly connected to it by a 9-mile long tunnel. It is known to have a breeding colony of Lesser kestrels, the only known in Armenia. It contains the Spandaryan Hydro Power Plant and is considered a great fishing location in Armenia.

Very nice view on your way to the South
On your way from Yerevan to the South of Armenia (Goris, Meghri or Kharabagh) you have this nice water reservoir. Originally it is a large man-made lake. It was built around 1980 in the Arpa River basin, reportedly connected to it by a 9-mile long tunnel. Just stop the car here for making some amazing pics. It is reasonable also to go closer to the lake, enjoy the nature and even have a small picnic here
