Walk on the Little Venice waterfront in Mykonos with views of the famous Kato Mili windmills
The photograph portrays one of Mykonos most iconic views: the Little Venice waterfront with windmills in the background. Two tourists walk along the narrow paved promenade that runs alongside white houses with characteristic windows and balconies painted light blue. On the left, a bar's outdoor tables invite visitors to linger admiring the panorama. In the distance, the four Kato Mili windmills stand against the clear sky, with their wooden blades and conical thatched roofs. These windmills, built in the 16th century by the Venetians to grind grain, are now the symbol of Mykonos. The blue Aegean Sea laps at the rocks and the barren hills of the island form the background. The warm late afternoon light enhances the contrasts between the white buildings and the blue of sea and sky.
