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.

My guide Christina was amazing. She was so warm and friendly and knowledgeable. She gave me lots of fantastic photo opportunities and angles. The light house itself isn’t anything that spectacular but the location and view from there is definitely worth it.

The Lighthouse itself is nothing special but the views are super. We were lucky to be there with only 2 other people & it was very tranquil. We also hiked from Mykonos town up a very very steep hill to avoid the busy main road traffic. Quite tricky in places, but ok if you take your time & have sensible shoes, sun hat & water. Beware, there is one place where we took the left hand road (up another steep hill) rather than the right & we had to come back a little way as it led to some houses & no further! Coming back down to the New Port area was tricky as the hill was so steep. Take it slow, you don’t want to fall. We were able to catch the Seabus back to the Old Port which was a good idea after this hike. If you don’t mind a steep climb & hiking is your thing, then this is something for you. The views are worth it. Otherwise, hire a car or bike & visit that way or go on an organised tour. We were told the sunsets are lovely from here & I expect they certainly are.

It was very nice, we enjoyed the sunset. I would have liked to have arrived a bit sooner though to get pics of the lighthouse with the sun behind it. We arrived about 10 minutes too late (had to pick up another couple that was "lost"), the sun was already quite low when we got there. But the driver and guide were great, very friendly.

After a miscommunication about pickup location we connected with our driver Matthew. Matthew very personable and engaging. He assisted us up the steps toward Lighthouse and guided us toward different scenic areas for pictures. was able to catch the sun as it was setting.. would have liked to know a little more about the history of lighthouse.

This trip to the lighthouse was delightful! Educational and fun, with the glorious sunset to top it off!

We were picked up on time at our hotel for the evening tour - in an authentic, Mykonian car ;-) Our two tour guides were very friendly and cordial. The ride was pleasant and we felt well taken care of. At the lighthouse we were served a small picnic including drinks at sunset. One of the tour guides told us a lot of interesting facts about Mykonos and the neighbouring islands. We enjoyed the tour very much, not only because of the great view, but also because of the two tour guides.

Timely pick up at the hotel. Joanne was a perfect hostess. Brought local Greek snacks and drink. Great break from the hustle. Lovely sun set location and saw the old lighthouse come to light

Notre guide Matthew était vraiment gentil heureusement ! Car malheureusement il n’y avait pas beaucoup de soleil donc pas vraiment de coucher de soleil et beaucoup de vent ! Dans la description il est mentionné qu’une collation légère et du vin sont proposés il n’en est rien, nous n’avons rien eu . Malgré tout le point de vue est beau. Un peu cher juste pour un point de vue !!!
