Windmills of Mykonos
The Windmills of Mykonos are one of the island’s most iconic landmarks and a symbol of its rich maritime history. Located on a hill overlooking Mykonos Town and the Aegean Sea, these whitewashed windmills date back to the 16th century and were once used to grind grain, taking advantage of the island’s strong winds.

Today, the windmills offer breathtaking panoramic views, especially at sunset, making them one of the most photographed spots on the island. Their distinctive Cycladic architecture and scenic location create a perfect setting for walking, sightseeing, and photography.

A visit to the Windmills of Mykonos is an essential stop for anyone exploring the charm and history of Mykonos Town.
