Kato Mili Windmills, Mykonos

#createwithtrip - Fabulous Hilltop View Set on top of the landmark hill on Mykonos island, overlooking the picturesque sealine and beautiful whitewashed town of Chora, is the iconic row of white Kato Mili Windmills with thatched roofs. Of the 16 windmills still standing, 7 are positioned on the Chora hilltop. Initially built between the 15th and 16th century, these iconic landmarks of Mykonos were primarily used for grinding grain/wheat for the wealthy families, the monasteries of the island as well as local barkeries. Construction and preservation works continued until the early 20th century. After their use for milling stopped, they eventually converted into homes, storage facilities and accomodation for travellers. One in particular, Boni's Windmill, has since been transformed into a traveller's museum. Each windmill has a distinctive rounded shape and faces the north where there are strong winds flowing from the open seas. While admiring the windmill, you can catch the magnificant views of Chora (especially Little Venice) and the beautiful harbourfront from the top ! Do walk through the iconic labyrinth of narrow cobberstone pathways, take a stroll along the various beaches, port front and also walk along the various cafe sidewalk of Little Venice by the break water for more scenic ocean views and insta shots ! Note : From Singapore, you can purchase your flight ticket on Trip.com and fly to Athens International Airport via Jetstar. From there take a connecting flight to Mykonos.
