The Sights of Mykonos
Mykonos Windmills
The Iconic Mykonos Windmills (Kato Mili)
Standing proudly on a hill overlooking Mykonos Town and the shimmering Aegean Sea, the Mykonos Windmills are one of the island’s most famous and photographed landmarks. Known as Kato Mili, which means “Lower Mills,” these beautiful white, round structures with thatched roofs date back to the 16th century.
Originally built by the Venetians, the windmills harnessed the strong northern winds to grind wheat, playing a key role in the island’s economy during its maritime heyday. Although they are no longer in operation today, they remain a powerful symbol of Mykonos’ rich history and charm.
The area around the windmills offers panoramic views, especially at sunset, making it a favorite spot for photographers and travelers alike. Just a short walk from Little Venice and the heart of Mykonos Town, the windmills are a must-see, whether you’re exploring during the day or watching the sky turn gold and pink in the evening.
Archeological Museum
The Archaeological Museum of Mykonos was built in 1902, in order to house the finds from the “Purification Pit” of 426/5 B.C., which was discovered in 1898 on the islet of Rheneia, by D. Stavropoulos.
It was designed by Alexandros Lykakis and paid for by the Ministry of Education and the Archaeological Society of Athens, while the land was donated by the Municipality of Mykonos. The original Neoclassical building assumed its present, “insular” form in 1934, and the large, eastern room, was added in 1972.
