Armenoi (Greek:Αρμένοι) is a large village and municipality in Chania Prefecture on the island of Crete, Greece. The seat of the municipality of Armenoi is in the village of Kalives, although the police have their base in the village of Armenoi.

Armenoi is located inland from Kalives on the north coast of the island, at the mouth of Souda Bay. A relatively large village, it lies on good agricultural land in the Apokoronas, with groves of avocado, orange and olives around. The village has two large tavernas of good reputation, a grill in summer months and a kafenion, as well as a butcher and general store. The tranquility is indescribable as you can sit and relax by the shade of platania trees (Oriental Plane)and the river of Kiliaris. The church of st. Nickolaos is large and imposing, giving an air of wealth to the village. See photographs of Armeni at [1]
