Locally speaking, Armenistis is a small fishing village with a picturesque harbor, its parich church dedicated to Agios Nikolaos, patron saint of sailors, and the few year-round houses of its inhabitants. In recent years it has become a major tourism center for the island while still retaining a relaxed and traditional atmosphere.
