The Lasithi Plateau in Crete is famous for its iconic white-sailed windmills, once used to irrigate crops. Introduced during the Venetian era, these wooden-framed windmills with canvas sails pumped water from wells, supporting agriculture in this fertile highland. Though many are now inactive, their striking silhouette against the mountain backdrop remains a symbol of Crete’s rural heritage. Best preserved near villages like Psychro, the windmills attract visitors exploring the plateau’s scenic landscapes and nearby Dikteon Cave. Restoration efforts keep their legacy alive, offering glimpses into traditional Cretan farming. A visit in spring or autumn enhances the experience, with lush fields or harvest colors complementing the timeless charm of these historic structures.
