Hotels near Armenistis Lighthouse

The Armenistis Lighthouse stands on a craggy headland at the north-western tip of Mykonos, built in 1891 to mark the channel where the steamship Volga sank in 1887. The 19 m white stone tower is still in service and not open for entry, but the surrounding cliffs are a top sunset spot, with views across to Tinos and the Cyclades chain. There is no public bus, so plan to drive a quad bike (35 EUR per day) or take a 16 EUR taxi from Chora. Park at the small dirt area and walk 200 m down the path. There is no canteen, so bring water and snacks.

Pro Tip: Combine the lighthouse with dinner at Kiki's Tavern in nearby Agios Sostis (no electricity, only a wood grill, no reservations) - go at 18:00 to put your name on the list.
