   Perched on the hills between Bodrum and Gümbet, the Bodrum Windmills are iconic symbols of the region’s rural past. Built in the 18th and 19th centuries, these whitewashed stone structures once harnessed the Aegean winds to grind grain for local villages. Today, they offer more than just a glimpse into history — they provide one of the best panoramic views in Bodrum, overlooking both bays and the turquoise sea beyond. A favorite spot for photographers and sunset lovers, the windmills are a peaceful and scenic stop on any Bodrum tour.
