Together with Santorini, Mykonos is one of the most famous islands of the Greek Cyclades. Here you will find narrow streets with the typical whitewashed houses with blue and turquoise accents and the famous windmills. The island is very photogenic and has numerous “Instagrammable” photo spots. In this article you will find an overview of 10 places on Mykonos that should not be missing from your Instagram feed!
Tip: I edit all my photos, both for Instagram @TRAVEL.DICTED and my blog, with my own presets. You can find these presets here.

1. The windmills of Mykonos
The windmills are one of the most famous sights of Mykonos and that is why they should not be missing from your Instagram feed. The most popular windmills can be found on a hill just outside Mykonos Town. This spot is not only popular for taking photos, but also for watching the sunset. Therefore, keep in mind that it is extra crowded around that time.
Note: The windmills aren’t on top of a hill for nothing. It can be quite windy there!
