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.

"Gut geeignet für Familie mit 1-2 Kindern , ruhige, strandnahe Lage , nur 6 KM von Tinos -Stadt (Chora). Auch ohne Auto möglich, recht gute Busanbindung ( im Sommer). Der Strand nicht zu voll, sandig, sehr gut geeignet auch für Kinder. Gute Tavernen fussläufig zu erreichen."

"Se réveiller et s endormir avec le bruit de la mer quel bonheur! Le seul bémol c est la présence d un beach bar sur la plage qui amène beaucoup de passage et de véhicules qui passent devant le cottage … Sinon tout était parfait"

"We arrived early and a room was ready. We had room 8, the view was amazing, but there is stairs. Staff was friendly and helpful. We had an issue with hot water and it was fixed quickly. It’s about 15 minute walk to the beach and 10 minutes to the bus. Choice of 3 pools. Breakfast available. Beds were very comfortable. The pool area was so clean, the rooms are made up every day. We loved our room."

"El pessonal de la pissina no fue amigable ,el bar tender y el service guy,,,,fueron groseros y discriminatorios . Yo tube una pequeña discusión con otro cliente ,porque tenian 4 sillas en el area de la pissina y fuera de eso tenian otra area grande comedo y sillas y yo no tenia donde hacerme yo les pregunte al pesonas y me ignorarnon ,pedi unas bebidas y nunca llegaron a preguntarme si todo esta bn o si queria algo mas ,se pusieron a reir con los otros clientes . El hotel es para todos los clientes sin excepción.eso fue lo unico malo. "

Stunning views & great service

"The staff here were extremely friendly and accommodating. The property is gorgeous. Lots of stairs and no elevator so beware if you have bad knees like me, but I managed. The restaurant is open till 5:30 PM and the bar is open til midnight by the pool. The views are stunning . It’s a little bit of a hike to get down to the beach and back up. Will give you a major workout! "
