Fact. The Greek Navy has 1 of the oldest warships in service in any navy in Europe, the cruiser Georgios Averof from 1909. Even though it is also a museum ship, the Greeks has it listed in service. It would be a nice historic ship to visit. :)

Vic, another wonderful video. On the demise of the 2nd windmill, I can't help but to think that it may have been a casualty of WWII. That would help explain the walls being pushed outwards, as if a bomb were dropped in on it, or perhaps it was struck by artillery fire discharged by some large caliber guns, with the shells exploding inside the structure. You have an excellent panoramic view, so it would be natural for the windmill to have been used as an observation/communication center. There was also a lot of political turmoil in Greece after WWII, so perhaps the damage could have occurred during that period, with a number of armed factions vying for control of Greece. One would have to research old historical photographs taken over the years to perhaps get an idea as to when the damage was inflicted on the structure. Airborne dust can be very explosive, but those walls were so thick that I don't think that a flour dust explosion would have done that much damage, but then I am just speculating.

Exactly what I was thinking, that the second windmill suffered considerable damage from the second world war, quite possibly by the Germans that used the windmill for ammunition storage (due to its thickness it would have been a good site for this purpose). Another possibility is that it has been hit directly either by the British (bombarding the hill occupied by the Germans on the hill nearby), or, a shell from the German artillery fell inside.. I will ask around and see what I can find out.. Thank you for your comments...

I can confirm that, I live down that hill. If vic walked a little more further, he would see a crater of a bomb from WW2. My Best friend's grandfather was severely injured there. Thank you for visiting our island. I would like you to visit Euripedes cave and tell people all about it.😁

George Perdikouris I'm sorry to hear that. MY father & my 5 uncles all served in WWII. My uncles have all passed on. My father is still alive, but his mind has been taken by dementia. I was fortunate in that my father told me of his experiences before his memories were taken from him.
