The Armenistis Lighthouse in northwestern Mykonos is an irresistible tourist attraction with scenic views of the surrounding. It is around 6.5 kms away from Churo. The altitude of the lighthouse is 19 meters and the focal height is 184 meters, overlooking the gleaming blue waters between the islands of Mykonos and Tinos. It is popular for its long and interesting history and the spectacular sunset views from the stone-fenced courtyard.
The Armenistis Lighthouse was built in 1891 and is still fully functional. It was built in tribute to the maritime history of Mykonos and for the guidance of incoming ships after an unfortunate incident in which eleven people lost their lives.
