See Tatev, especially the tramway. It's a bit of a journey but worth the four-hour drive. For a hidden gem search out the largest medieval castle in the Caucasus, Dashtadem Fortress. It's not listed in most guidebooks and there is no charge to go inside. It's huge by comparison to most other places in the country https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashtadem_Fortress. - Mar 2017
