The three windmills tower over the historic town of Leonidion
These mills were built at the beginning of the 19th Century and form an integral part of the architectural heritage of Leonidion. They are set against the famous red rocks which are now an international destination for climbers.
The setting of the mills offers great views. To the east you can see the plain where the Dafnona river meets the sea - this is now an important agricultural area and provides food for the region. To the west, you can look over Leonidion to the gorge which leads up to the mountain town of Kosmas. Don't forget to bring your camera!
Leonidion itself is a picturesque town and is the capital of the Kynouria region. Numerous traditional mansions testify to the wealth of its citizens and many of these have been restored including the Tsikaliotis Tower which lies on the main road passing through the town.
The mills are a 10 minute walk from the main road. It is possible to drive part of the way and there is space to park and turn round (see Waypoints). The last part is a 5 minute walk up a footpath through pine trees (check the waypoints for the start of this path).
