Really authentic fishermans cottage on a totally unspoilt bay below Oia. We found it so peaceful, just the water lapping in front of the house and the occasional yacht sailing by. The house was full of rustic charm, a little rough around the edges but that added to its character. On a practical level I enjoyed cooking and eating on the wonderful terrace in the evening. Beds were firm but comfy. It's the sort of house perfect for doing absolutely nothing but relax. The views are picture postcard fabulous. We literally didn't want to leave! When we did it was just a few steps to the wonderful restaurant 2 doors down! Fresh fish and great service, fantastic ambiance - best food on the island. We also visited Oia a couple of times but couldn't wait to leave and get back to the cottage - warning...it's heaving in summer! I walked up before sunrise one morning, just me and the stray cats and dogs and really saw it in all its beauty but impossible at night. It's a very steep walk up or there is the option of a mule for €5. Staying in Armeni bay you have the best of both worlds - the choice is yours. I'd definitely book again.
