Cavos Bay Hotel in Armenistis Ikaria - the hotel where Dirk stayed (see story below) - including American buffet breakfast
Built in a traditional architectural style and located on the north coast of Ikaria, only the sea-dashed rocks provide a barrier from the Aegean Sea archipelagos.
Built in 6 tiers on a hillside, you can benefit from brilliant views. From the verandas of the rooms you can admire the sparkling sea and the sky, before strolling outside and diving into one of the 2 saltwater swimming pools.
Explore the beautiful island by hiking along some of the footpaths, or visit the fishing village of Gialiskari. Keep in touch with friends at the internet cafe, and enjoy snacks and drinks at the pool bar

Dirk Slegers about Ikaria.
Ikaria was very nice and I will defenitely go back. Here I would really like to stay for three weeks (we were there for 10 days). We stayed in the village Armenistis. This choice we made after much reading on the internet. Subsequently it proved to be the best choice (for us at least). Two beautiful sandy beaches nearby, one with a bit of people, the other one very quiet. A little further by car or scooter: Nas beach. Clothing optional. There were a lot of small beaches where you were alone. We stayed at the Cavos Bay Hotel. Armenistis is a small fishing village, yet authentic. In the evening it gets a little more busy but in a fun way. Few tourists, mainly Greeks. The food was delicious and cheaper than for example in Samos. Population is ... first time reserved but more friendly after a while as you stay longer. Evdilos is a small port village. Some nice taverns, no beach. So in the North there are only Evdilos, Armenistis and Nas. Beautiful and rugged natural and green. Beware of the goats if you are by car. In the South you have the port of Agios Kirikos. The south is beautiful with very steep cliffs and impressive, narrow roads. You need a 4-wheel drive, also for the west. The west is very rough. Here is a 4 x 4 required. Ikaria is almost as big as Samos but much less tourism and attractions. I think that the hotel and the town of Armenistis itself made our short holiday there.
