Description:
The windmills of Mykonos are one of the most recognized landmarks of the whole Greek island. The group of 5 windmills at Mykonos Town are the first thing to see when the ship gets close to the harbor, as they stand on a hill overlooking the area.
There are 16 old windmills in total on Mykonos. Most of them were built by the Venetians in the 16th century, used for grinding the wheat. With the advent of modernity, their use gradually declined untill they stopped being used in the middle of the 20th century.
