The Armenistis Lighthouse is at the northern and western part of the island above the homonymous cape. Access is easy with asphalt and at the end a very passable dirt road and walking for about 100 meters. The construction of the lighthouse was decided when an English ship was wrecked in the north of the island and lost 11 members of the crew.
The lighthouse was built in 1891. It has a tower of 19 meters and focal height 184 meters. The house next to the lighthouse has several rooms which housed the current lighthouse keepers and often their families. The original mechanism of the lighthouse was of French origin and won the international exhibition in Paris. After the war - 1945 - it worked with petrol until 1982 when it was electrified. Today it is fully automated and the original mechanism is housed in the Aegean Maritime Museum located at the Three Pigadia in Mykonos Town.
The site has wild beauty and offers panoramic views of Tinos, the Aegean Sea and a beautiful sunset in the afternoon.

Top Armenistis Lighthouse Hotel Reviews

Harmony Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Went late November, great hotel but the town is very quiet at this time of the year "

Anthis Villas Mykonos

10/10 Excellent

" We recently stayed here for 5 days as a group of 14 people and rented three villas — Poseidon, Athena, and Apollon. From start to finish, communication with the hosts was excellent; they were friendly, accommodating, and made us feel very welcome. The villas were exactly as described — spacious, comfortable, and perfect for our group. Even though the weather was rainy for most of our stay, we still had a wonderful time. Transport was provided whenever needed, and we never had to wait long, which made getting around very convenient. A highlight of our trip was the afternoon sail arranged by the hosts. It was a fantastic experience — the meal on board was delicious, and we even had the chance to swim in the sea near a beautiful beach. Another great addition to their service was the massages arranged by the hosts. It was such a relaxing experience and a perfect way to unwind during our stay. Overall, despite the weather, we had a great time and would definitely recommend this accommodation for anyone looking for comfort, great service, and memorable experiences. "

Elli Tropical Suites

10/10 Excellent

"My wife, son, and I had a great stay at Elli Tropical Suites. Their place was lovely. It was new, clean, and comfortable. It was nice to wake up each morning to a view of the sea and sounds of nature. It was peaceful. The place was in perfect condition and easily accessible from the port and airport, but it was also nice to be a few minutes away from the business of Mykonos Town. The beach was just a few minutes walk from their place, and there are nice restaurants close by. They had amazing service and were willing to arrange everything for you, and quickly communicated. They are so sweet, you feel more like family. That's why I enjoy supporting local family businesses as they truly care about the experience. They were so kind to the family and our son. It is a nice spot to relax and use as a home base to explore the full island. We recommend it, and look forward to returning one day."
