The Armenistis Lighthouse, locally known as "Fanari" (Lantern), stands majestically as a sentinel over the Amenistis area, symbolizing Mykonos' rich maritime history. Accessible via the scenic road from Agios Stefanos, just 6.5 km from the town, this structure, built in 1891, rises 19 meters above the ground with a focal plane height of 184 meters above sea level. The visit offers a unique panoramic view of Mykonos' new port and the nearby island of Tinos, with the original lamp mechanism on display at the Aegean Maritime Museum.
Beyond its historical importance, the Armenistis Lighthouse is an idyllic place to witness the mesmerizing Mykonian sunset. The panoramic viewpoint unfolds an endless canvas of sea and sky illuminated with vibrant colors. It is a must-see destination to capture the magic of the sunset, share a serene moment with a loved one, and enjoy the refreshing sea breeze, offering a perfect blend of historical attraction and natural beauty.
