Monument of Lysicrates
The Monument of Lysicrates is the best preserved choragic monument in Athens, Greece. In ancient
times, statues like this one were built as a base for placing trophies. Theater competitions were organized
each year, and the sponsor of the winning performance won a trophy. This particular one was built by
Lysicrates, a wealthy citizen of Athens, in the 4th century BC. It stands over 30 feet high and is crowned
with a capital in the shape of acanthus leaves. The bronze trophy would have been placed on top of this
capital.
On top of the pedestal, you can see a tholos, which is a circular structure with Corinthian columns and
covered with a marble roof. Beneath the roof you can see a frieze that shows scenes from the winning
play along with Dionysus, the patron god of the stage. The monument was integrated into a Capuchin
monastery that was built in the same location in the mid 1600s, which is part of the reason it has survived.
The Windmills (Kato Mili)
The four windmills lined up on a hill overlooking Mykonos Town are a signature island sight. All up there
are around two dozen windmills on the island, but these four are the most famous. Capped with wood and
straw, the three-story conical windmills were built by the Venetians in the 16th century to mill flour. They
remained in use until the early 20th century.
The Bonis Windmill overlooking Little Venice houses a folklore museum, while others around the island
now serve as very unusual homes. The views from the windmills over Little Venice and the harbor are
stunning, especially at sunset. Sailing into harbor, the windmills are one of the first sights of Mykonos.
