Mykonos is famous for its iconic windmills, which have become emblematic of the island.
These whitewashed windmills with their thatched roofs are not just picturesque; they also serve a practical purpose. Built by the Venetians in the 16th century, these windmills were used to grind grain and are strategically positioned to capture the strong northern winds that sweep across the island.
Mosaics were very popular in the Roman Empire. From the colorful, marble (or glass cubes) squares various patterns were laid on the floors or walls. Many beautiful ancient compositions have been preserved to our day, which prove the craftsmanship of ancient craftsmen. Here are 10 places where we will see some of the most beautiful Roman mosaics.
