The windmills dominate the hilltop of the picturesque village of Kontias for over 200 years. They blend perfectly with the quaint village and are great for landscape photographs. In the old days they had a leading role in the economic life of the island. Today, the windmills at Kontias have been restored, are part of the architectural and cultural heritage of Lemnos and one of its main attractions. Some of the windmills are adjusted for accommodation to experience a ‘journey in history’.
