Stone windmills along the exposed ridge above Olympos record the grain economy that supported this isolated northern Karpathos community.
Stone windmills along the exposed ridge above Olympos record the grain economy that supported this isolated northern Karpathos community. Some structures remain private or unstable, so use public paths and enter only when clearly invited. Ridge winds can be severe, and sunset descent requires a light. Pair the mills with village bakeries to understand their working relationship rather than viewing them as detached scenery.
