Experience the historic Armenistis Lighthouse, a sentinel overlooking the Armenistis area and a testament to Mykonos' rich maritime history. Still fully operational today, this iconic landmark offers a glimpse into the island’s seafaring past.

In order to visit the Armenistis lighthouse, we take the road from Agios Stefanos. Located in the “Fanari” area, which translates to “Lantern” in Greek, this scenic coastal road also offers some of the most spectacular views on the island, just 6,5km from Mykonos Town.

Discover fascinating facts about the lighthouse, which was built in 1891. Its tower stands 19 metres tall, with a focal height of 184 metres. The original lighting mechanism of Armenistis is now displayed outside the Aegean Maritime Museum.

Beyond its historical significance, the lighthouse is worth visiting for the breath-taking scenery around it. From here, you can see all the boats arriving and departing from Mykonos, while Tinos island looks as if it is right next to you. Its strategic position offers scenic views of the surrounding areas, making it a must-visit spot for those looking to experience the island’s beauty and history.
