Armeni is a historic traditional settlement in the Lasithi prefecture, built in an area with a rich cultural heritage in the hinterland of Sitia.

The village is one of the most characteristic traditional settlements in the region, preserving its authentic character and the structure of a typical Cretan village.

The most noteworthy feature to see in Armeni is the organization of the settlement around its central core, dominated by the Armeni Sitia Elementary School. The settlement features central gathering spots, such as the traditional Pantopoleion (General Store) in the village center, while the historical nature of the site is highlighted by the presence of the Agia Sofia church and the local cemetery at the southern borders of the settlement.

A tour of Armeni reveals a place that serves as a key point for travel in eastern Crete, as the village is connected to an extensive network of provincial roads. Roads towards Handras, Perivolakia, Vori, and Agia Triada pass through the settlement, making it an ideal starting point for exploring the surrounding mountain and lowland landscapes. The tranquility of the landscape and the authenticity of its residents make Armeni one of the most interesting stops in a tour of the Lasithi countryside.
