The northwestern parts of Kotayk are mountainous, forested and popular with Armenians as places to go and relax. Hankavan, Tsaghkadzor, Bjni and Aghveran are all well known by Armenians as places where nature is nice, and relaxation is possible not far from Yerevan. Each place has different things to offer, but all offer hills, mountains and forest.
Hankavan, an old greek village, is furthest from Yerevan and offers isolation, hot springs and sparse accomodations.
Tsaghkadzor, a ski town (see the "Do" section) offers a multitude of accommodation options, a beautiful monastery, restaurants and bars.
Bjni has a grand old church, ruins of a fortress, a gorgeous canyon, and springs.
Aghveran has a good selection of places to stay including the new, luxury Artur's Resort. Nearby are the hot springs in Arzakan.
