Hurtige fakta: Windmills are arranged along the hill overlooking the old harbor, each with a hundred-year history of grain milling. These mills once supported local agriculture and trade, and today they represent a symbol of Mykonos.
Højdepunkter: Walks through narrow streets lead you to magical viewpoints where you can admire the blue Aegean Sea through the wooden shutters of the mill. At sunset, the mills create beautiful silhouettes that light up the sky with orange and pink hues.
Insidertips
- Comfortable sneakers are recommended due to slightly uneven cobblestones.
- Ask the locals about the stories of the mill mechanisms.
- Photograph from the west side, where the best spots for sunset views are.
- Visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid crowds.
