Our family travel group (seven members) recently visited Oia. Upon arrival in Santorini, we were met by Chris who transported us from the airport to Ammoudi Bay (with a stop along the way to purchase groceries). At Ammoudi Bay, we were greeted by Christina, our host, and Alex, our boat captain who loaded up our luggage and supplies and took us to what would be our home for the next two weeks in Armeni Bay. The size and layout of the beach house perfectly accommodated our family. The location at the bottom of the caldera cliffs was an ideal sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the city above. At 64 years old, I made the trek up the steep and winding trail several times. The younger folks made the hike daily. We enjoyed time in the city shopping and sitting in restaurants eating and enjoying the breathtaking views. But many of our days were spent lounging, sunning, swimming, and kayaking in the cool, clear, cobalt blue waters of the Aegean Sea, located only steps from the house. The restaurant next door is fabulous... and famous! Armeni Restaurant has been featured as one of "12 once-in-a-lifetime dining experiences around the world", according to Travel and Leisures A-list advisors. The atmosphere is relaxed and the fresh seafood is amazing. The owner and staff are fun and friendly. They even delivered food directly to our house on several occasions. One of the highlights of our stay was the sunset cruise with Alex, which we took on our last evening. Words cannot describe the beauty of an Oia sunset! The entire trip was a wonderful and memorable experience of a lifetime!
