Greek Island Getaway

Windmills of Mykonos

The iconic windmills of Mykonos, Greece, stand as a symbol of the island's charm and maritime history. Perched on a hill overlooking the azure Aegean Sea, these whitewashed structures with wooden blades were once vital for milling grain. Today, they serve as picturesque landmarks, attracting visitors with their unique blend of traditional architecture and scenic vistas. The windmills of Mykonos are a testament to the island's rich cultural heritage and continue to be a popular backdrop for photos against the stunning Mediterranean backdrop.

The windmills were first constructed by the Venetians at some point during the 16th-century. Like many of the islands in modern day Greece, Mykonos once lay on an important trade route and its windy weather was perfect for operating windmills.

In use for centuries, the windmills ceased to mills grain at some point during the 20th-century when grain production became less valuable. Now, much of industry in Mykonos and Mykonos town (which is also known locally as ‘Chora’) is focused on tourism.

Aww the famous Venice Windmills, they are iconic. You will for sure want to stop by during the day but also at sunset to marvel at their beauty and take some pics. Prepare yourself there is a resin there are windmills there- it is windy! Bring a clip for your hair.

Classic photo backdrop in Mykonos! Nothing really to do other than get your photos - the light will be best in the morning and before sunset. Morning will be best for less crowds.

The windmills, perched on a hill overlooking Mykonos Town, are an iconic symbol of the island. They offer panoramic views and make for a perfect photo opportunity.

The iconic windmills of Mykonos bear witness to the beauty of the island and offer stunning views of its coastal landscape.

Just outside of Mykonos Town, these iconic grain mills are a picturesque landmark on the island. 

2 PM - You must visit the iconic windmills!
