Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Faros Armenistis, Faros Armenistis, Mykonos, Cyclades, South Aegean
Armenistis Lighthouse (Faros Armenistis) built in 1891 stands in its silence, as a tribute to the rich maritime history of Mykonos island.
Situated on the north-western part of the island, at Fanari area, around 6.5 kilometers from Chora (Mykonos town) on the north coast road of the island, the lighthouse overlooks the stretch of sparkling blue water between Mykonos and the neighboring island of Tinos.
Its strategic position offers scenic views of the surrounding areas and is well worth visiting to get a sense of the island’s fascinating history and enjoy its spectacular beauty.
The decision to build the Armenistis Lighthouse was prompted by the sinking of the British steamship Volta in 1887 off the north coast of the island. Eleven people lost their lives in that unfortunate incident. Steps had to be taken to avoid this type of tragedy from happening again, and by 1891 the 19 meter tall lighthouse was standing as a guiding beacon to incoming ships.
Duration: 1 hour 20 minutes
Stop At: Mykonos, Mykonos, Cyclades, South Aegean
Secondary stop to capture a panoramic Mykonos Town photo shooting from a hidden place.
Duration: 10 minutes

Abbiamo vissuto la bellissima esperienza del un tour privato al tramonto presso il Faro di Armenistis, insieme allo staff e alla preziosa guida di Pantagionos. La visita include un lussuoso transfer privato per andata e ritorno dall'alloggio, vino locale, acqua, nel nostro tour vi era frutta, l tutto veramente ottimo, il vino era eccezionale. Durante il tragitto, lo staff ci ha portato a scoprire dei luoghi nascosti con vista panoramica su Mykonos in cui sorge una chiesetta sottostante, incastonata nella roccia. La visita al faro è un'esperienza unica e romantica se siete in coppia. Nel momento in cui inizia a calare il sole, lo scenario si tinge di un mix di colori tra arancio, rosa, lilla e giallo: una meraviglia. Escursione consigliatissima per amanti delle foto. Vi sono anche caprette selvatiche il lontananza. Lo staff ti guida nella posizione migliore per creare bellissime foto e video, indescrivibile a parole l'intero tour. E' un'agenzia di tour nata da poco ma con diverse proposte per un soggiorno unico, da ricordare con gioia. Grazie ancora per la bellissima giornata trascorsa.Barinder_A

This was a fantastic evening! My guide was very friendly, informative and explained the history behind the light house and the island and its surroundings so well. The transport to and from the tour was organised in advance and very good as well A Mykonian Sunset really is something that everyone should witness and experience during their lifetime, it truly is majestic! The Mykonian night sky is truly marvelous too. I had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend it to those visiting the Island. Thank you for making this experience so memorable!Zita S

Would have been good on a warm night with a sunset. Unfortunately it was cold and cloudy. Thought we could have had a choice of wine - only red wine was offered and we are white wine drinkers.
