About this experience

The Armenistis Lighthouse, or "Fanari" in Greek, meaning "Lantern," has stood as a sentinel over Mykonos since 1891, offering a glimpse into Mykonos' maritime history.
Located just 6.5 km from Mykonos town, it can be reached via the road from Agios Stefanos which offers the most spectacular views on the island. Visiting the lighthouse gives you a good sense of the islands’ fascinating history and beauty.
Armenistis Lighthouse, however, not only played a vital role in guiding ships safely but also serves as a striking landmark, drawing photographers and visitors from all over the world. It’s one of the best spots on the island to enjoy the sunset, offering an endless image of sea and sky, unfolded in a stunning blaze of colour before your eyes.
