LINDOS

Although Rhodes Town is one of the most recognisable places on the island, Lindos isn’t too far behind. In fact, many people prefer it here because it is much smaller and quainter. While much of Rhodes Town is taken up with the older Medieval buildings, Lindos is known for its quiet beauty and serene landscapes. This is the perfect place to visit if you want a relaxing vacation.

Lindos is both a picturesque town and archaeological site located approximately 58 km (36 mi) south of Old Town Rhodes and is a picturesque white settlement build on a huge rock overlooking the Aegean Sea. On the top of the cliff, the ancient Acropolis of Lindos dominates the setting, while the beach under the village is one the best bays in Rhodes. The Acropolis is absolutely amazing and is a must see if you’re looking for some of the best views in all of Rhodes. Note that the climb up to the Acropolis requires you to be somewhat active and able to climb stairs, lots of them. The trail begins through town and slowly but surely starts to get steeper as you climb the hill towards the Acropolis. Once there, you’re rewarded with the ancient site dating back to 300 BC. More information on the Lindos Acropolis can be found under ATTRACTIONS.
