  Faros Armenistis

  Perched on the northwestern tip of Mykonos, Armenistis Lighthouse stands as a proud reminder of the island’s maritime heritage. Built in 1891, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and the nearby island of Tinos. The lighthouse is about 7 km from Mykonos Town (Chora) and is especially beautiful at sunset, making it a favorite spot for photographers and romantics. Though the lighthouse itself is not open to the public, the surrounding area provides a serene atmosphere and a glimpse into the island’s nautical past.

• Ftelia (Pass by)

  Located on the northern coast of Mykonos, Ftelia Beach is a haven for windsurfers and kiteboarders, thanks to the strong northern winds (the Meltemi) that sweep the bay. Its bohemian charm and relaxed vibe attract those seeking a quieter alternative to the more crowded southern beaches. The area also has archaeological significance, as it was once a Neolithic settlement. Visitors can enjoy chic beach bars, crystal-clear waters, and a laid-back atmosphere perfect for unwinding.

  Church of Paraportiani

  The Church of Panagia Paraportiani is a true architectural gem and one of the most famous churches in Greece. Located in the Kastro area of Mykonos Town, it is actually a complex of five small churches built between the 15th and 17th centuries. The irregular whitewashed structure, with its smooth, flowing lines, exemplifies Cycladic architecture at its finest. Its name means “Our Lady of the Side Gate,” as it was built next to the entrance of the old castle. This is one of the most photographed landmarks on the island.
