It’s hard to think at Greece without immediately visualizing Mykonos and Santorini, two of the most beautiful islands in the Aegean Sea. Perched on a hill, the iconic Mykonos windmills welcome the visitors arriving from the sea with their white circular shape and the conic roofs outlined against the blue sky.

Wow!! What a stunning and vibrant pic! Had no idea that Greece had windmills too!!
I really enjoyed this little island. It was so much fun getting lost in the maze of streets. It was 15 years ago since my husband and I visited it. I wonder how much it has changed?

I couldn’t say if it has chanced since it was my first visit. I don’t think much, however. At least, not the historical center.
Ever since I “fell in love” with the beauty of this country, I have directed all my paths to take myself there. It’s been seven years of dreaming to visit Greece. I’m still dreaming, taking any action I could and believing that I’ll be there someday.
You’ll sure go some day, Lafni. And you’ll love it!
That is a super stunning photograph! Looks like a lovely place to relax

Thanks so much, Jade. Mykonos is lovely for both relaxing and partying
Lovely photo, never been to Greece, hope I can make it to one of their islands in the next year.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Mary. The Greek islands, especially the small ones, are beautiful.
Aww… I’m not an expert on how windmills work… but I know the production was stopped in the middle of the 20th Century. I guess that they were abandoned for some time and probably restored in most recent years…
Gorgeous – but looking at them, I wonder how they work? They have no sails or blades??
