Little Venice and windmills

Perhaps one of the most photographed spots of the island, Little Venice consists of houses built in 18. century and consists of houses with foundations in the sea. It is rumoured that pirates once hid their booty behind these doors above the water level. Today they have been converted into bars and restaurants and the views of the sparkling Aegean Sea from their balconies are mesmerising. Another attraction of Mykonos are the windmills, which stand overlooking the sea and are pleasantly illuminated at night. Powered by the north wind, these windmills were used to grind grain into flour until the early 20th century.
