The wind farm consists of 17 individual wind turbines that provide a significant portion of Bozcaada's electricity.
The turbines are situated on a cliff edge at an altitude of approximately 190 meters above sea level.
This specific location is the westernmost point of the island, making it the final place in Turkey to see the sunset.
The area is subjected to intense meltem winds, which are a characteristic meteorological feature of the North Aegean region.
Wind Rose (Rüzgar Gülü) is the westernmost point of Bozcaada island, situated on a cliffside overlooking the Aegean Sea. The site features a row of 17 large-scale wind turbines that generate renewable energy for the island. Its elevated western position provides an unobstructed horizon for viewing the sunset over the sea. The area is characterized by high, constant winds, which led to the installation of the wind farm in 2000. Visitors can walk along the gravel paths between the turbines to reach the precipice. The location serves as the primary vantage point for sunset gatherings on the island.
The westernmost cliff edge, where the path ends and the full rotation of the turbines can be framed against the setting sun.
Bring a windproof jacket even in summer, as the constant gusts can be chilly once the sun dips below the horizon.
Arrive early to secure a parking spot, as the narrow road becomes highly congested during the hour preceding sunset.
Carry a flashlight for the walk back to your vehicle, as there is no artificial lighting in the parking or turbine areas.
Do not attempt to climb the fences or approach the maintenance infrastructure of the wind turbines for safety reasons.
