Lindos
Rhodes - Greece

Lindos

Known best for its whitewashed buildings, golden sand beaches, historical and archaeological significance, and especially for its clifftop acropolis, the famed town of Lindos never fails to awe and inspire all those who choose to visit. A major highlight of the town, the Acropolis of Lindos, is considered to be one of the most important archaeological sites on Rhodes. Excavated in the early 20th century, the ruins of this acropolis are located on a steep cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.Situated on the Greek island of Rhodes, Lindos is said to date back to the 10th century. This tourism hotspot attracts travellers with charming beaches such as the popular Lindos Beach, the quieter Pallas Beach, and the picturesque St. Paul’s Bay. In addition, since many of the buildings in Lindos have flat roofs, rooftop restaurants are quite common and can be enjoyed year-round thanks to the region’s Mediterranean climate.

Lindos Acropolis & Rhodes Old Town Highlights Tour

Lindos Acropolis & Rhodes Old Town Highlights Tour

Few islands in Greece can match the heritage of Rhodes. And this wealth forms the centrepiece of this tour. Discover it all with an expert local guide. Dimitris, one of our guides, says, ‘Lindos was built in the 10th century BC by the Dorians. It's the third-most visited site in all of Greece, which shows just how significant it is.' You'll also enjoy a walking tour of the old town of Rhodes and see the Palace of the Grand Master. Headsets allow direct connection between you and your guide.Dimitris believes Rhodes is blessed with some of the best scenery in Greece. He says, ‘Lindos lies near a fantastic sandy beach, surrounded by hills hiding the village, protecting the place from the attacks of the pirates. On top of the small sugar cube houses stands the ancient Acropolis and the Temple of Athena.' You'll get to appreciate these very views during a coffee stop at a typical family-run café. Climb to the mountaintop Acropolis as your guide brings to life the myths and legends of the ancients as you take in views of St Paul's Bay below.Rounding off the day, we'll head to the old town Rhodes – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – for a guided tour. Because so much of the excursion is walking, it reduces the activity's carbon footprint. Wander the winding, cobbled streets, lined with historic houses and boutiques, and walk down the Street of the Knights. The star attraction is the Palace of the Grand Master – an enormous 13th-century fortress originally built by the Knights of St John.
