After returning from Delos Island, I continued walking around the city after a short coffee break. The town is very cute, but there are a lot of tourists and souvenir shops.

Vannak régi szélmalmok is, amiből négy egymás mellett áll a város legmagasabb pontján, közvetlenül a tenger mellett. Az

There are also old windmills, four of which stand side by side at the highest point of the city, right by the sea.
My late lunch was a fruit salad while I waited for the Maritime Museum, which closed at three in the afternoon, to reopen at six.

The museum was founded in 1983 by George M. Drakopoulos, whose father and grandfather were both sailors. The museum is not big, but cute and quiet, and the inner garden is a special surprise. In this garden there is a lighthouse that operated for almost a hundred years (1887-1983) and was given to the museum after restoration.

The gift shop also opens from the garden, from where I brought Zephyrus, in the form of a fridge magnet. He is one of the four wind gods (Anemoi).

The four brothers – Boreas, Zephyrus, Notus, Eurus – are the sons of Eos and Astraeus; they are four wind deities in Greek mythology, each representing a cardinal direction and a season:

Boreas – North Wind

• Symbolizes the harsh winter wind.
• Depicted as a strong, old, winged, and stormy-looking man.

Zephyrus – West Wind

• Brings a gentle spring breeze, renewal, and warmth.
• Appears as a youthful, handsome figure, scattering flowers.

Notus – South Wind

• Symbolizes the end of a hot summer and intense rains.
• Depicted as a massive man with a vase pouring water, symbolizing a downpour.

Eurus – East Wind

• Represents the autumn winds, often seen as bringers of change or misfortune.
• The least defined of the Anemoi, they are associated with unpredictability and transition.

They can also be seen as windheads on the edges of old maps, in appropriate places, placed in a circle with their companions. Windheads were key to navigation, agriculture, and weather forecasting, and often appeared on medieval and early modern maps. Windheads also had astrological significance, linking terrestrial and celestial phenomena, and were used to illustrate the movement of celestial bodies. Artists used Windheads to combine scientific accuracy with creative expression, making maps both functional and aesthetic. They helped sailors plan their routes and avoid obstacles by understanding wind patterns.

I was already quite tired, I didn’t feel like walking the three kilometres back to the accommodation. You have to walk on the edge of a narrow highway with no sidewalk. Suddenly a car stops in front of me and the old lady at breakfast waves to pick me up. As it turns out, she is the owner; Mamma Paola and the receptionist is her daughter. She is a very sweet, 72-year-old lady who had been to Budapest two years ago and really liked it.
