Discover more about Anemomilos Windmill

The Anemomilos Windmill, or Anemómylos, graces the edge of Garitsa Bay, a short distance from Corfu Town's center. This isn't the original structure, but a faithful reconstruction of a Venetian-era windmill that once dotted this windy stretch of coastline. Windmills were common on Corfu during Venetian rule, harnessing the strong breezes to grind grain for the island's inhabitants.Today's Anemomilos is a popular landmark and gathering place. While the original mill crumbled over time, the rebuilt version, completed in 1998, stands as a reminder of Corfu's past. It's a prime location for panoramic views, encompassing the Old Fortress, the town itself, and the picturesque Garitsa Bay. The area around the windmill is perfect for leisurely strolls, especially in the summer when the waterfront comes alive with activity. Visitors can explore the marina, relax on the small pebbly beach favored by locals, or enjoy refreshments at nearby cafes and restaurants. The windmill itself sometimes hosts artistic events, adding a cultural dimension to the site. Just a short walk away lies Mon Repos, the birthplace of Prince Phillip, offering further historical exploration.
