The windmills of Amorgos

There have been up to eighteen windmills here at the island of Amorgos in the 19th century! The windmills on Amorgos stand opposite the Kastro fortress, in a panoramic and imposing location, on a ridge that catches every breath of wind. Some of the well-preserved windmills still contain the mechanisms used by the millers to process the flour.
Several of the windmills are easily accessible, while others require a demanding ascent not recommended on windy days. On hot, windless summer days, this location is the ideal place to watch the sunset, with the sun dropping into the sea and the silhouettes of the windmills taking on purple and orange hues.
