Loggos Mill: The Last Windmill in Operation
The Loggos Mill, also known as Stavrakis Anemogiannis’ Mill, is another important historical site on Paxos. It was operational until the beginning of the 20th century, grinding wheat at a rate of one kilogram every 72 minutes (20 okas). The Loggos Mill was the last windmill to cease operations, marking the end of an era for Paxos’ milling industry.
Perched on a hill in the village of Loggos, this windmill not only played a vital economic role but also offers one of the island’s most stunning views. From its elevated position, visitors are treated to a sweeping vista of the sea and surrounding landscape. The mill’s proximity to the coastline makes it a popular spot for watching the sunset, with the sky transforming into a canvas of brilliant colors as the day comes to a close.
