3Lindos and the Acropolis of Lindos
No cultural tour of Rhodes is complete without visiting Lindos, a village perched on a cliff with stunning views of the Aegean Sea. Its whitewashed houses and narrow lanes create a timeless Greek island atmosphere, while the Acropolis of Lindos crowns the village as a historic sentinel.
The Acropolis here dates back to ancient times and features ruins of temples, a Hellenistic stoa, and medieval fortifications. The temple of Athena Lindia is particularly notable, offering insight into the religious practices of the ancient Rhodians.
Reaching the top involves a climb, but the journey is worth it. Along the way, you’ll pass charming houses, local shops, and small squares where life seems unchanged for centuries. At the summit, the view stretches across Lindos Bay and the surrounding coastline, creating a memorable combination of history, architecture, and natural beauty.
