10Island of Winds

Mykonos is often referred to as the “Island of Winds” due to the strong and consistent winds that sweep across the island. These winds are a natural phenomenon and have had a significant influence on the island’s architecture.

The iconic windmills, which are a symbol of Mykonos, were originally built to harness the power of the winds and grind wheat. Today, these windmills serve as a picturesque backdrop for the island’s stunning sunsets.
