Armenistis is the lighthouse of Mykonos that has one of most beautiful sceneries on the island.

The lighthouse Armenistis is at the northern and western part of the island above the homonymous cape. 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 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.
