The East shore includes Soviet era pensionats and resort hotels. Not as trendy as the north shore, this is becoming a magnet for those who want to get away from the crush on the peninsula, with some of the same amenities (discos, jet skis, sailing and fishing). Prices are about the same as other “normal” beaches on the lake.
West Shore: The least developed of the shorelines is the west shore, beginning at L’chashen and running to Hairivank. There are a few abandoned Soviet Hotels on this shoreline and some activity to renovate or build new hotels, but most are simple Hangestian gotis with domiks and cottages and khorovats stands.
