Mykonos, the Island of the Winds

Mykonos’ nickname is “The Island of the Winds” and that’s not by mistake! The strong northern wind that often whips up the island, called Meltemi, makes some activities, such as sightseeing and dining outside, quite challenging.

On an island where the breeze never stops blowing, it makes perfect sense why the locals have chosen to harness the power of the very strong winds, by building windmills.

The northern winds, or meltemia (plural), blow constantly through all the Cyclades Islands cluster.
