For beautiful nature places you should go to Slovak Paradise, Low Tatras and of course, High Tatras. If you also want to visit some towns, castles, etc and not just nature there is my quick and short suggestion. Keep in mind that those places are all over the country so you would of course have to skip some of those.

So, from Košice you could go northwest to Spiš castle and then to High Tatras. There are few mountain lakes with super clear water and some mountain huts where you can buy something to eat and drink. You could go also to Orava region where is a gorgeous castle. Dont forget to visit the middle of Slovakia - Banská Bystrica, Banská Štiavnica & Kremnica - where you will find beautiful town centres. (all of these are historical mining towns) Then there is a village - Špania Dolina - which combines beautiful environment, rich history, traditional buildings and architecture. While you are there, you can make short trips in Low Tatras, especially Chopok or Ďumbier hills. There is also cableway straight to the top If you are interested look up some caves and visit one of those. Then there is a beautiful castle/chateau in Bojnice, might be worth visiting on your way to the west. Or you can take the northern rout to west and visit Trenčiansky castle (however, Ive never been there so I dont know wheter it is as good as that one in Bojnice, but I doubt it) And now of course our capital - Bratislava. You will surely find a lot of info about this city. There are also ruins of a castle Devín nearby on a hill so the view might be pretty cool.

there are also some nice Spas and aquaparks in Slovakia but in case you would visit some of those, dont go at the weekend because it would be really really crowded there.

I would suggest High Tatras for the mountains and Banska Stiavnica, an old mining town with beautiful city center. If you like castles, there are plenty of them too. Bratislava, being the capital, also has things to offer :-)

Except of the locations mentioned above - you can try Bojnice Castle, it's close to Banska Stiavnica.
