The lighthouse, or "Fanari" as it's locally known (which translates to "Lantern" from Greek), stands sentinel over the Armenistis area. It serves as a testament to Mykonos' rich maritime history. To reach this beacon of light, you'll journey along the road from Agios Stefanos.
This route offers some of the most spectacular views on the island and is just a short distance from Mykonos town. The original lamp mechanism from "Armenistis" can be found at the Aegean Naval Museum, located in a charming 19th-century building in central Mykonos. This spot provides an unrivalled view of Mykonos' new port area, with the surrounding scenery being nothing short of awe-inspiring.
Its strategic position makes the neighbouring island of Tinos appear as if it's within arm's reach. A visit here will give you a deep appreciation for the islands' intriguing history, all set against a backdrop of natural beauty. But the lighthouse's significance extends beyond its role in Mykonos' maritime past.
It's also a striking landmark situated on an incredible site that draws photographers and visitors from across the globe. It's one of the prime locations on the island to witness the sunset, offering a limitless panorama of sea and sky, bathed in a mesmerising spectrum of colours.
