On the wilder eastern side of Lake Sevan, you'll find groups of hip Yerevantsis escaping the scorching summer heat. Stony Wishup Shore hosts events and has a fun bar and restaurant (mains AMD1000 to AMD2000). The vibe is free-flowing and visitors can pitch their own tent or rent a hexagonal shelter. Cottages are also available for groups.
