Wind Mills: Mills from the Sea
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you take a boat/ferry to arrive/departure/tour etc. from/to Mykonos, don`t miss the view of the mills from the Sea.
    From some streets in the village you will have a beautiful view of them, but the best one is going a little bit further from the coast...

    Wind Mills: Windmills of Mykonos
  • Tip Rating:
  • There are 5 windmills located in the vicinity of Little Venice. These are the icons of Mykonos. Traditionally, these windmills were used as grinding mills, deriving its power from the wind. Today, these white circular buildings with conical roofs have been restored as residential dwellings, shops and a museum.

  • At one time there were many windmills on the island and they were used to grind grain. There are far fewer now, but you will still find them. Many of the remaining are nonfunctional and a few have been converted into homes. Cool house! The most famous and most frequently photographed are the row of windmills overlooking the town of Hora,

    Wind Mills: the venetian windmills
  • Tip Rating:
  • The venetian windmills are some kind of landmark of Mykonos and you can see them in many postcards. You will have your photos here for sure and it's amazing during the sunset.

    One of them is a house now and you can see them on the hill up on the right side of Little Venice area so it's great to have a photo of Little Venice too...

    There are many other wind mills across the island but these here are not in function anymore.

  • One of the attractions of Mykonos are the wind mills which have gained fame in one of the James Bond Movies. Beautifully aligned they overlook the bay of Mykonos. This is one of the most photographed sights on the island. Some have become available for rent and one can actually life in these wind mills.

    Built during the long rule of the Venetians, the windmills actually still milled flour until recent years. One is a house now. All of them together serve as a photographer's prop gloriously.

    Wind Mills: Mills from the top of the hill
  • Tip Rating:
  • I would not go up the hill just for taking a picture, but my Hostel was up the hill so I took this picture of the mills while going down to the village.
    Did I told you that I liked the mills a lot?
    ;-)
