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.

"Stayed here for 4 nights whilst visiting the island for a wedding. The suite was perfect and was great to have the hot tub outside. The staff were all amazing, in particular Stefania, who was extremely helpful. Cannot recommend this place highly enough! "

"Die Unterkunft ist abseits des Massentourismus gelegen. Wer Entspannen möchte ist hier genau richtig. Die Einrichtung ist sehr modern und vor allem neu und nicht abgenutzt. Ich habe die Ruhe, die man hier hat sehr genossen. Der Strand direkt vor der Haustür hat das ganze nochmal getopt. Ich empfehle auf jeden Fall ein Auto zu mieten, ohne hätte ich mir es nicht vorstellen können. Die Betreuung über WhatsApp war sehr herzlich und unkompliziert. Alles lief reibungslos ab. "

"Located slightly uphill from the coast, the Vencia hotel is a truly lovely jewel with a very attentive and friendly staff, delicious cuisine, immaculate rooms and breathtaking views. It is a premium place to relax and take in all Mykonos has to offer. Our most memorable time at the Vencia was sitting by the infinity pool, watching the ships coming and going with the delightful Savos, the most personable and affable bartender. Also worthy of mention was the surprise visit from our teenaged daughter and eight of her friends that piled into the restaurant for an impromptu dinner. The dining staff were so courteous and accommodating to our every need. I highly recommend this hotel. "
