Agia Sostis Mykonos is not accidentally called the Island of the winds. Even in the Middle Ages, residents began to build windmills here. Now there are seven mills on the island. They were built in the 16th century and for many years served as one of the main source of income for the islanders; locals traded flour. Although the mills have not been used for a long time for their intended purpose, they are an important national symbol for the islanders. All the mills are maintained in excellent condition and are available for tourists to visit. Recently, a mini-hotel was opened in one of the mills for fans of recreation in unusual places.
