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.

"Excellent villas with friendly staff willing to help at all times ! The villas are spacious and the private pools are excellent, the villas are slightly out the way from things but we still managed to get around and see what we wanted to see - the reception will arrange taxis. Would definitely recommend staying here. "

"The bathrooms, showers and all taps in the villa have salt water instead of regular water which I found uncomfortable. They didn’t mention this before. The villa is a little bit pretty but the communication from the staff is a bit aggressive. The property seems like it was built quite fragile and cheap. The security sometimes walks inside the villa and stares. The cleaning lady bangs on your door early in the morning and doesn’t budge or respect your privacy. I recommend this property for young...

"The property was VERY nice and we loved the location. The host provided all the necessary items for our stay, such as water, coffee, etc. Our only disappointment was that the WiFi only worked if you’re on the main floor in the living room."

"Location was falsely advertised and is not located anywhere near old port. Advertisement is completely misleading as property is no where near listed location.Is over a 2 hr walk from the old port, not 7 minutes as advertised. Would not recommend staying at this property."

"Mykonos M Villas was a an absolutely fabulous stay for our group of 9. The Villa was the perfect set up for 2 adults & 7 girls in their early 20’s. Very well maintained, spotlessly clean & the gym and outside pool area were exceptional. Without a doubt though the Villa concierge Stefanos was key to the success of our stay. He went above & beyond to help with anything that was required, from helping with transport & grocery shopping to recommendations for food and entertainment! We all cannot...

"What an amazing place to stay. The house is spacious and open with plenty of room. The view from the pool area can not be beat. The pool was refreshing and you has constant breezes to keep you cool.
