The Armenistis Lighthouse is at the northern and western part of the island above the homonymous cape. Access is easy with asphalt and at the end a very passable dirt road and walking for about 100 meters. The construction of the lighthouse was decided when an English ship was wrecked in the north of the island and lost 11 members of the crew.
The lighthouse was built in 1891. It has a tower of 19 meters and focal height 184 meters. The house next to the lighthouse has several rooms which housed the current lighthouse keepers and often their families. The original mechanism of the lighthouse was of French origin and won the international exhibition in Paris. After the war - 1945 - it worked with petrol until 1982 when it was electrified. Today it is fully automated and the original mechanism is housed in the Aegean Maritime Museum located at the Three Pigadia in Mykonos Town.
The site has wild beauty and offers panoramic views of Tinos, the Aegean Sea and a beautiful sunset in the afternoon.

Super Paradise Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Super paradise hotel is the best location in Mykonos as super paradise beach club is located just steps away. There is also paraj and Thalas restaurants located right on the beach. There is a beautiful pool overlooking the beach for more relaxation and a bus that comes to super paradise and brings you to the town center for 5 euros each. We felt the service was subpar. Often times bartender was not behind the bar and were left waiting. However, we noticed this was a commonality everywhere we went on the island. We would still choose to stay at this hotel again for location and for the amount of time we spent in the hotel, it was comfortable enough and well worth it."
