Windmill Of Parikia
About
Its round shape, stone base, and conical roof reflect the typical architecture of Greek island windmills, originally built to harness the power of the Aegean winds for grinding grain.
Though it no longer functions as a working mill, the structure remains well preserved and serves as a symbol of the island’s history and identity. Surrounded by cafes, shops, and waterfront tavernas, the windmill provides a picturesque backdrop and is a favorite spot for photographs, especially at sunset when the light casts a golden hue over the harbor.
Beyond its visual appeal, the windmill stands as a quiet reminder of Paros’s agricultural past and the ingenuity of the island’s early inhabitants in adapting to their environment. Today, it continues to play a role in welcoming and enchanting travelers from around the world.
