2 Best Sights in Mykonos Town, The Cyclades

This museum displays a 16th-century windmill, outdoor oven, waterwheel, winepress, and dovecote, with the intention of illustrating and preserving the traditional rural life of the island.

Across the water from Little Venice, set on a high hill, are the famous Mykonos windmills, echoes of a time when wind power was used to grind the island's grain. Once a poor barren land stricken by pirate raids, the only source of income was from passing ships. The area from Little Venice to the windmills is called Alefkandra, which means "whitening," as women once hung their laundry here to bleach in the sun.
