The Antimachia Windmill is one of the most charming sights in the village of Antimachia, which is a short 20 minutes drive from Astir Odysseus Kos Resort & Spa.
The windmill of Antimachia traces its origins back to the XIX century. The traditional windmill was however abandoned for years, and has been only recently completely restored to reflect its former form and use. There are not many other fully operational and productive windmills in Greece, so it is well worthy of attention. The Antimachia Windmill is also a monument of Greek tradition and architecture.
You can enter the windmill and observe the grinding process for wheat and other grains. There is also a small exhibition showcasing the traditional Antimachia folk interior decorations of the mill. They have a small shop selling homemade loaves of bread and other baked goods, as well as local oils and preserves. They also have a small cafe in the square, serving coffee, drinks, and light meals.
