Mykonos Highlights

The lighthouse or “Fanari”, as locally known, which translates to “Lantern” from Greek, is standing like a sentinel over the Amenistis area and is a testimony to Mykonos’ maritime history since 1891. To reach the lighthouse we take the road from Agios Stefanos which offers the most spectacular views on the island just 6,5 km from Mykonos town. The altitude of tower is 19 meters and the height of focal plane is 184 meters. The mechanism of the first lamp of “Armenistis” is exposed outside by the building of Aegean Naval Museum that is located in a traditional building of 19th century, in centre of Mykonos, near to place Three Wells (Tria Pigadia). This place gives you a better view of the new port area of Mykonos and the beautiful scenery around it is breath taking. It makes the neighboring island of Tinos to look as if it is right next to you due to its strategic position. Visiting it gives you a good sense of the islands’ fascinating history combined with beauty.

After your visit to Armenistis Lighthouse, we will start from the port of Mykonos, to enjoy the tour around the island from a different point of view, full of traditional and authentic images and experiences. Our first stop will be at a very well known site which all the island’s visitors must see, in order to capture a panoramic Mykonos Town photo shooting. Following the picture taking we will visit the picturesque small port of Agios Ioannis, an area which was named after a small church dedicated to Saint Ioannis and one of great historical significance. We will visit the church, along with the Saint’s cell where the annual fair in his name is also being held. The small port in front of us is the starting point of the local fishing boats which are protected here from the island’s strong north winds.

Right afterwards we will depart towards the Mykonos’ airport, where we will have a panoramic view of the airport’s runway and perhaps we are lucky enough to catch a plane taking off or landing. Leaving the airport behind us, we will be headed towards Ano Mera Village and pass through one entirely different scenery, one of the island’s most typical agricultural and stock raising areas, where we will observe small local cultivated fields and even some domestic animals in local family owned farms.

We will head towards the Ano Mera village’s colorful square, where one of the island’s two monasteries is located (“Panagia Tourliani”) and we will be guided through its chambers. You can also take a glimpse at the nearby open air market with vegetables and other local products.

After capturing all these images of Mykonian countryside and its lifestyle, we will reach the farm of the Mykonian Spiti, where you will experience the island’s rural charm up close. As part of your visit, we will provide a 10–15-minute lecture about the history of local wine production in Mykonos. You’ll learn about the island’s long-standing viticulture traditions, grape varieties, and winemaking techniques that have been passed down through generations. There is a Light Snack option for anyone who is interested  to taste the local products from the traditional farm.

As we continue our tour, we will be passing by some of the most distant beaches of Mykonos, named “Kalo Livadi”, “Kalafati” and also see “Agia Anna”.

A true hidden gem experience

We took the tour with another couple, and I have no words!! The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, she really made us feel like locals! We started at the Lighthouse, which we absolutely loved, but for me the highlight was Ano Mera! Such a cute village, and the Farm was also fun! Thank you for showing us the beautiful island of Mykonos!
