Armeni is a quiet bay on Santorini's northwest coast that is concealed beneath the charming village of
Oia.
It provides stunning views of the caldera, the nearby island of Therasia, and the volcanic islets. Once Oia's principal harbor, Armeni is now a tranquil retreat perfect for the isolated, adventurous, and nature-loving traveler. With its untamed charm, this quaint location provides a window into the island's unknown aspects.
A scenic arrival
Armeni is reachable by boat and is located a few meters south of Ammoudi Bay. The boat trip to the cove is calm and picturesque, starting in Ammoudi Bay. Those seeking a more strenuous trek can descend roughly 300 steep steps from Oia village to Armeni. Even while climbing can be exhausting at times, the result makes it all worthwhile.
A peaceful haven
You will be struck by Armeni's tranquil, soothing ambiance as soon as you arrive. Once the bustling port of Oia, this modest pier is now used only by a few yachts and smaller vessels. It's the perfect place for people who want to get away from the crowds of people in more well-known locations since there aren't any tourists here. There are only a few whitewashed homes and a rustic restaurant by the sea, indicating that Armeni has not been affected by mass development.
The perfect spot for a swim
The stunning beach at Armeni is one of its primary attractions. Towering rocks and glistening waves encircle the rocky tiny beach. The beach's beauty and calm are enhanced by its absence of structure. It's a great place to swim and dive because of the turquoise water and volcanic pebbles. The stunning view of the caldera cliffs and the well-known settlement of Oia above you will leave your mouth hanging open, whether you want to relax on the beach or venture into the pristine waters.
