Tourist Shops

by sandysmith

Lindos is touristic - the streets can be stepped and lined with the usual toutist shops, bars and supermarkets, their narrowness means it can soon get congested with daytrippers. ..but do explore those quiet corners and you'll be pleasantly surprised at the peacefulness which can be found.

Beautiful Churches IV

by steventilly

Here's the Church of the Assumption, dating from the 15th century but on the site of a 10th century basilica. It has a lovely belltower and tiled roof. It stands right in the centre of the village, next to the other, white church shown in the previous tip.

Acropolis VI

by steventilly

Ok then, enough aerial views - let's get up those steps and into the ancient city. After this there's not much more climbing to do. There's a lot of rubble (if I may call millenea of history "rubble") and uneven ground inside the Acropolis so take care when you get in.

St. Paul's Bay II

by steventilly

At the far side of St. Paul's Bay, down the end of a dusty track, is St. Paul's Church. A modest white affair it is popular as a wedding destination for couples from the UK (and maybe elsewhere I guess). Its setting is what makes it so lovely.

Looking Back on Lindos

by sandysmith

Just 55km from Rhodes is Lindos one of the most picturesque white villages I've seen in Greece (so far!). Probably one of the most popular too judging by the number who come here, by boat and by bus each day - even so its definitely a place worth seeing and lingering in to enjoy.

Explore the maze of white-washed houses, whilst dodging the donkeys.. and take a trip up to the ancient acropolis - preferably when its a bit cooler.

...and take time to enjoy the beaches too.
