The famous Bodrum windmills offer the most spectacular views over the Turkish Riviera. These historic white windmills sit on a hill above Bodrum town, providing perfect photo opportunities and breathtaking panoramas of the castle, marina, and blue Aegean Sea. These seven traditional windmills date back to the 18th century when they ground wheat for local villages. Today, they're Bodrum's most photographed landmarks. The windmills represent the area's agricultural past and offer a peaceful escape from busy town streets. From the viewpoint, you'll see Bodrum Castle, the marina filled with luxury yachts, and the sparkling Aegean Sea. On clear days, you can spot Greek islands in the distance. The contrast between white buildings and blue water is stunning. Golden hour (one hour before sunset) provides the most beautiful lighting for photos. Early morning visits (8-10 AM) offer cooler temperatures and fewer crowds. The windmills are 2 km from Bodrum center, accessible by a steep 25-minute walk, taxi, or scooter.
