Tours & Activities | ARMENISTIS LIGHTHOUSE VISIT
The lighthouse or “Fanari” as locally known, which translates to “Lantern” from Greek, is standing like a sentinel over the Armenistis area and is a testimony to Mykonos’ maritime history. Built in 1891, this 19-meter tower reaches a focal plane of 184 meters. To reach the lighthouse we take the road from Agios Stefanos, which offers the most spectacular views on the island, just 6,5 km from Mykonos town. The mechanism of the first lamp of “Armenistis” is exposed at the Aegean Naval Museum, housed in a 19th-century building in central Mykonos, near Three Wells (Tria Pigadia).
This place gives you a better view of the new port area of Mykonos and the beautiful scenery around it is breath taking. It makes the neighboring island of Tinos to look as if it is right next to you due to its strategic position. Visiting it gives you a good sense of the islands’ fascinating history combined with beauty.
