The two options for accessing Armeni bay are the following: 1)There is a path of 300 steps, linking this small port with the centre of the village of Oia. It is a 15-20 minutes hike through steps. You would need to be reasonably fit and like exercising for these steps. 2) We have our own private boat, and captain, for transporting our guests, upon check in, check out and during their stay. We offer this service (included in the price of the house) in order to be able to accommodate guests that are not willing to use the steps. From Armeni bay, the boat will drop you off in Ammoudi bay. Ammoudi bay, is also a small bay with seafood restaurants. However it is also accessible by car, as there is a proper road. From Ammoudi bay you can either use your car/scooter/atv or take a taxi in order to explore the rest of the island. It is only a 2 minutes drive from the village of Oia. In the village of Oia, you will find a great variety of shops and restaurants. The house offers housekeeping service every other day.
