Descripció de la platja
Armenistis is a small village with snow-white houses, buried in the dense greenery of olive groves, picturesque harbor and the ancient church of St. Nikholas. Despite the impressive flow of tourists, there is a calm and peaceful atmosphere, typical of Ikaria as a whole.
The beach is located in a small cozy bay, protected from the strong winds of the rocky capes and high hills. The shore is covered with fine golden sand, and washed by the emerald waters of the tender Ikaria Sea. Entrance to the water is gentle, without sudden changes in relief. Certain inconveniences for swimmers can create strong currents and waves that are characteristic of the entire northern coast. So don't swim too far and swim near wild rocky areas.
The beach is equipped with toilets, showers and changing cabins are offered for a fee. Lovers of active leisure can enjoy water rides and rent sports equipment. The beach has a volleyball net and children's playground with inflatable trampolines and slides. There are numerous taverns and snack bars along the coast, where you can have a good time and enjoy the midday heat.
One of the most popular is Taverna Paskalia, which serves delicious food at low price. It is always crowded and fun, as well as friendly and sociable owner of Haris - the soul of this place. The Dolphinia tavern is located in the eastern part of the bay and has its own piece of the beach. Unlike Pascal, there is a calm chamber atmosphere and visitors can not only satisfy their hunger and thirst, but also use umbrellas and sun loungers.
There are several other beaches in the vicinity of Armenistis, which are considered to be some of the best beaches on the coast. There are Livadia, Messakti and Gialiskari, located in the scenic neighboring bays surrounded by pine forests.
When is the best time to go?
Grčka - zemlja dugačke dužine od sjevera do juga, pa će se preporuke razlikovati ovisno o mjestu u koje idete. Sezona godišnjih odmora počinje u maju, a vrhunac dostiže u julu-avgustu: ima previše turista, a temperatura na južnim ostrvima dostiže 40 stepeni, što možda još uvijek ne igra ulogu na plaži, ali svakako nije pogodno za razgledavanje. Dakle, najbolje vrijeme za opuštanje u Grčkoj je kraj proljeća-početak ljeta ili septembar-oktobar.
