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.
Venice is a city of immense beauty and historical significance, but it is also unique and not like any other city in Italy. Today, it remains an important economic center and is one of the most popular cities for tourism in the world – Sights like St. Marks’s Basilica and the Grand Canal draw millions of visitors to this small group of islands on an annual basis.
