Mykonos to Faros Armenistis and Platis Gialos: Day trip

Journey to Mykonos's northern tip, where this 19th-century lighthouse presides over the island's most dramatic and windswept coastline. Stand at viewing platforms where powerful meltemi winds and Aegean waves create spectacular displays crashing against rugged cliffs. The elevated lighthouse position provides sweeping panoramas across neighboring Cycladic islands, including Tinos and Delos, floating on the horizon. Time your visit for sunset when golden light transforms the white lighthouse and wild seascape into magical scenes perfect for photography. The untamed northern coast showcases Mykonos's natural power rarely experienced by beach-focused visitors. While the lighthouse itself remains closed, the surrounding area and dramatic coastal views create memorable encounters with raw Aegean beauty and maritime heritage, guiding ships for over a century.

Relax at one of Mykonos's most popular organized beaches, famous for excellent facilities, water sports, and easy access to neighboring beaches. Enjoy wide golden sand, shallow turquoise waters perfect for families, and numerous beach bars and tavernas serving fresh seafood. Rent sunbeds with umbrellas or try water sports, including jet skiing, parasailing, and banana boat rides. Regular caique boats connect to nearby beaches, including Paraga, Paradise, and Super Paradise, making beach-hopping easy. The organized setup provides comfort and convenience while maintaining natural beauty. Evening brings beautiful sunsets with beachfront dining and cocktails. The combination of family-friendly atmosphere, excellent facilities, and central location makes Platis Gialos one of Mykonos's most accessible and enjoyable beaches for all ages.
