“Best little hotel on Ikaria”

The pictures don't lie, Erofili really is perched right above a breathtakingly blue corner of the Agean sea. We spent 5 days here and loved every minute. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of Armenistis village, with many dining options. The pool is salt-water and lovely. The beach is just a few steps away but we almost never went! Between the pool and a private little spot to bathe in the sea (accessible from the rocks below only to hotel guests) there was no need. There is a beautiful dining-room / terrace but unfortunately the only meal they serve is breakfast (though you can order a delicious Greek salad poolside for lunch). The staff was attentive and friendly. The rooms are clean though a little too spartan for my taste but I'm told this is pretty much standard in the smaller islands. Make sure you get a room with a balcony facing the sea. Overall I think this is one of the best spots in Ikaria and definitely number 1 in Armenistis.
