In such an environment, you still have to bring children over. If the waiter here is really good, this is a very suitable place for taking pictures. It is a very easy place to make a blockbuster. I really like it.
The island of Mykonos is best known for its windmills, which are not only representative of the Greek landscape, but also steeped in the history of Mykonos, who was used as a grinding mill, and whose grinding grains created huge wealth for Greece.
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.
an iconic landmark, and a must visit. As nice as it is at the sunset, it can be very busy, so consider visiting in the morning for there to be less people.
