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.

Myconian Ambassador Hotel Relais & Chateaux

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect."

Myconian Korali

10/10 Excellent

"We had a good experience here, stayed 4 nights on part of our honeymoon trip. We upgraded to one of the suites with pool and jacuzzi - sea view. It's a very nice property and well maintained. Staff is very nice. We had breakfast each morning and had dinner in the restaurant one night - food was good but not great. The pool area is very nice and lunch food is good. It's expensive for add ons - but it's a nice property so it's expected. Very windy but also expected. It's pretty centrally located - we ordered car service to some of the local beaches and hotel arranged for us pretty easily. We walked into town a few nights which is maybe 10-15 minutes down the road. No complaints!"
