Arkoi is a little but fascinating island tucked away in the southeast Aegean that offers peace, natural beauty, and a strong feeling of history. Arkoi is the ideal place for people looking for a real Greek island experience as it provides a calm haven from the daily grind, glistening clean waterways, and lovely scenery.
The island’s mountainous coastlines and craggy hills accentuate its natural beauty, which is accentuated by olive orchards and rich greenery leading to peace with golden sand. For those looking for a peaceful hideaway to relax, swim, and explore, Arkoi is a heaven for environmentalists. Secluded coves dotting its shore provide a private environment for leisure by the turquoise seas, where the only sound is the soft lapping of the waves.
Arkoi is steeped in history, with its ancient ruins and traditional stone houses offering a glimpse into the island’s past. The island’s name is derived from the Greek word arkos, meaning “little bear,” a reference to the island’s shape. A quiet, unspoiled gem, Arkoi is an ideal destination for those who wish to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with nature.
Although Arkoi has a tiny population, its active local community welcomes guests to enjoy the friendliness and hospitality of the island people. With its whitewashed homes and winding lanes, the island community offers the ideal setting for leisurely walks in which the fresh sea air blends with the aroma of wildflowers.
