1 . While beach vacations may be a great way to take your mind off work, lakes surrounded by mountains make for an even more wonderful experience. If you are looking for some peace on your vacation, we have some recommendations for you in the Caucasus (高加索).
Lake Sevan
Lake Sevan is located in the central part of Armenia, in the Gegharkunik province. It is the largest lake in Armenia, 6,200ft above sea level. Along the lake shore, there are various accommodations such as resorts and hotels with plenty of activities to take part in such as windsurfing, swimming and sunbathing. While there, do not forget to visit one of the famous cultural sites with remarkable history, the Sevanavank Monastery, and it offers a great view of the lake as well.
Paravani Lake
Paravani Lake, 6,801ft above sea level, is in the south of Georgia, near the Javakheti Plateau. At this level, altitude sickness can appear and it is a good idea to be prepared to adapt to it properly, or bring medicine for altitude sickness. Being a volcanic lake makes for a more interesting experience. The lake is best known for fishing. Do not come here during the winter months when the lake freezes.
Lake Cildir
Lake Cildir is in the Ardahan province, east Turkey, near the borders of Georgia and Armenia. It is a large freshwater lake of eastern Turkey, and many tourists don’t notice this beautiful attraction. Lake Cildir is surrounded by mountains of the Caucasus. The lake freezes during late November. If the winter is not extremely cold, you can try some lake activities like ice skating and ice fishing.
Lake Van
Lake Van is the must visit of all lakes in this list, the largest lake in Turkey. Lake Van is on the eastern shore of Turkey and is also the most accessible lake there. It’s 5,380ft above sea level, and unique to many lakes around the world: the water is high in salt content.

2 . Best Selections for Travellers
COMO POINT YAMU
This is a light-filled design heaven. Sharp lines frame views of Phuket’s east coast and a swimming pool overlooks the Bay. The restaurants are equally stylish - Nahmyaa was given a Michelin Plate for its southern Thai dishes, and there’s also a private beach club on a nearby island, which more than makes up for the hotel’s own lack of golden sands.
ROOMS: Villas from£208, B&B. www. comohotels. com
OUR JUNGLE CAMP
Set on the mainland around a three-hour drive north of Phuket lies an old rainforest. Our Jungle Camp’s bamboo huts and treehouses are minimalist and cool enough in the evening. There’s a great restaurant on site and the camp can arrange a variety of activities, including nature hikes and rafting along lazy rivers.
ROOMS: From £15, room only. www. khaosokecoresort. com
THANYAPURA
Go for gold at this fitness resort in the island’s jungly heart. Top athletes come here to take advantage of the excellent facilities, including two swimming pools, tennis courts and boxing rings. Rooms are simple but have everything you need, including comfy beds and power showers.
ROOMS: Villas from £70, B&B. www. thanyapura. com
SALA PHUKET MAI KHAO BEACH
Sala Phuket is perfect for a laid-back beach break. Everything there seems to have been designed to put you at ease: the calming villas and the swimming pool sunken into the lawn. You can spend the day on the beach with a book or relaxing at the spa. The food is superb, too-pastries for breakfast, papaya salads and red curries for lunch and lobster for dinner.
