Armenisti lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse at Cape Armenistis, Mykonos, Greece
The white octagonal stone tower stands 19 meters tall with a focal height of 184 meters, flashing a white beacon every ten seconds across the Aegean Sea.
The lighthouse construction began in 1891 after the British steamship Volta wrecked in 1887, causing the death of eleven crew members near the Mykonos coast.
The original French lighting mechanism, created by Sauter Lemonier, earned recognition at the Paris International Exhibition and now resides in the Aegean Maritime Museum.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse by taking the winding road from Agios Stefanos, located approximately 7 kilometers from Mykonos Town on the northwestern coast.
The Germans utilized this strategic maritime structure as a military watchtower during World War II due to its position between the islands of Tinos and Mykonos.
