Armenistis Lighthouse

Armenistis Lighthouse stands sentinel on Cape Armenistis' "vampire hill" (Vourvoulakas) where functional 19th-century navigation equipment continues maritime operations while providing Mykonos' most spectacular panoramic viewing platform across the entire Cycladic archipelago. This working lighthouse positioned 6.5 kilometers from Mykonos Town via scenic Agios Stefanos road offers visitors the island's most comprehensive vistas - complete views of Chora, Little Venice, windmills, and endless Aegean horizons that reveal neighboring islands on clear days. The lighthouse operates dual functions - active maritime navigation beacon and tourism viewpoint where sunset photography opportunities surpass even Little Venice due to elevated positioning and 360-degree perspectives unavailable at sea level.
