Old mill in Lakka (1820)

More than 20 windmills are known to us, which have been declared preserved by the Ministry of Culture and are protected by the competent Antiquities Authority.

They are circular constructions that include four windows placed around the top and have an internal stone staircase.

They have a base called "kotornos," twice the diameter. Some are built with a pseudo-ashlar system, and others with irregular stones. From 1650 to 1900, they ground wheat, oats, and barley produced on the island.

All the mills belong to private individuals and have been designated as monuments of historical cultural heritage since 1985.
