Windmills of Mykonos

Uploaded: June 29, 2011 09:39:23

Description

Decided to keep the photographer to show scale. The Mykonos windmills are iconic feature of the Greek island of the Mykonos. The island is one of the Cyclades islands, which surround Delos in the Agean Sea. The windmills can be seen from every point of the village of Mykonos, the island's principle village, which is sometimes called the Chora on Greek islands. The windmills are the first thing seen when coming into the harbour, as they stand on a hill overlooking the area. ~ Wikepedia
