The iconic windmills of Mykonos may no longer be operational, but they do offer an unforgettable place to watch the sunset. Located on the hills of Chora, the famous Kato Windmills offer panoramic views of both the harbour and the entire village.
After a short up-hill walk, you’ll be treated to the real beauty of Mykonos: seeing many of the island’s landmarks illuminate as the sun disappears into the sea. The perfect photo opportunity!
– Castle Panigirakis
Located just outside of Mykonos Town, the idyllic Castle Panigirakis was built from the foundation of true love by Marcos Panigirakis. Set in two and a half acres of stunning private grounds, the castle offers a calm oasis away from the buzz of Mykonos Town.
If you’re looking for a spot to enjoy a relaxing sunset picnic and impressive coastline views, then this is just the place.
