Create an itinerary including Windmills

Climb the hill above the town to reach Windmills, which date back to the 18th century. Nestled high above the crowded streets and hotels, this secluded spot features seven windmills in varying states, ranging from eerie and crumbling to newly restored. The locals used them until the 1970s, after which they were left at the mercy of wind, rain, and frost. On a clear day you should be able to see Bodrum, Gumbet, and even the Greek island of Kos from the site. Be aware that the area surrounding the mills can be a bit run-down. Make Windmills a centerpiece of your Bodrum City vacation itinerary, and find what else is worth visiting using our Bodrum City trip itinerary builder app.

A bit of a hike to say the least - all up hill, but great panoramic views from the top. Bodrum’s windmills - or rather the remnants of windmills - are situated on top of a hill between central...

A must visit place to go if you ever come to Bodrum. It's better to walk from center to these windmills because you will see alot of great views on your way. On top windmills are almost destroyed but still it's worth going up and see the 2 different sides of the city.

Don't expect to be blown away. Views are good but be aware the path is not good and there's lots of trash
