Agricultural Museum, Mykonos

The Agricultural Museum, also called the Bonis Mill, is a well-known tourist attraction located in Mykonos. This outdoor museum features a collection of farming tools and machinery, with some exhibits housed in the Bonis Windmill, an ancient structure from the 16th century and part of the Folklore Museum. Positioned in Ano Miloi, or Upper Windmills, the museum presents an impressive panoramic view of the capital's bay to the east of the island.

Founded in 1984, the Agricultural Museum's primary objective is to protect the rural farmhouse and its tools and machines from the pre-industrial and early industrial eras used for the production and processing of agricultural products. The museum showcases an array of farming equipment, such as a traditional threshing machine, a village-style oven, a wine press, a water wheel, a stone water tank, and a dovecote.

The Agricultural Museum is a popular attraction among tourists, as it provides an opportunity to explore an authentic windmill that still operates today. The windmill also contains the miller's house and two small twin churches, in addition to stunning views of the town below.

Each September, the Agricultural Museum hosts a grape harvest festival. Admission to the Agricultural Museum of Mykonos is free of charge.
