The Mykonos windmills are an iconic feature of the Mykonos Municipality in Greece. Located primarily in the town of Chora, these historic windmills date back to the 16th century and were primarily used for milling grain. Positioned to harness the strong northern winds of the Aegean Sea, they played a crucial role in the island's agricultural economy. Today, the windmills are a popular tourist attraction, offering picturesque views of the town and the sea, and serving as a testament to the island's rich cultural heritage.
