Panteli windmills, Traditional stone windmills in Panteli, Leros, Greece
The collection of ancient windmills stands on elevated ground near Panteli Bay, featuring cylindrical stone structures with cone-shaped roofs and wooden mechanisms.
These windmills were constructed in the late 19th century to process wheat and other grains, supporting the agricultural activities of the local population.
The windmills represent traditional Mediterranean engineering methods, demonstrating how communities harnessed wind power for food production before industrial mechanization.
Visitors can reach the windmills by following the marked path from Panteli village, with the site open daily and offering views across the Aegean Sea.
Two of these historical structures have been transformed into residential accommodations, maintaining their original architectural features while providing modern amenities.
