Armchair Traveling - The Windmills on Mykonos

            Today's edition of "Armchair Traveling During the Coronavirus Lockdown" takes me back to our excursion to the Island of Mykonos. The most notable feature is the windmills which can be seen from anywhere on the island. There are currently 16 windmills on Mykonos of which seven are positioned on the landmark hill in Chora. Most of them were built by the Venetians in the 16th century, but their construction continued into the early 20th century. They were primarily used to mill wheat.
