There are 12 windmills in a row only above the island capital They are decorated with colourful, well-kept gardens, contributing together to the nostalgic image of the island capital. They once used to run the mechanism that milled wheat grown by the local farmers, ensuring self-sufficiency of the islanders in terms of food. Today the windmills are a popular attraction, a frequent target of trips and a symbol of the whole area.
