The lace sellers on the path down from the Acropolis lasy out their wares on the bank beside the path. The lace and table cloths seems extremely expensive, and haggling is the order of the day.
Don't be "bullied" into buying at a high price. See how much you can get similar wares for in the town before you approach these lace sellers.
Try the shops in town.

On the high road bypassing Lindos we saw signs pointing to a Mycenean cemetery. As a one-time university student of classics, I am a sucker for antiquities and whenever I see these types of signs I pull over because usually there's something worth seeing.
Out amongst some olive groves and donkey paddocks was a mound topped by a concrete shell. We couldn't decide if they were building an interpretive centre (on top of the graves, practically) or whilst in the middle of building a block of flats the graves had been dug up.
Either way, the trenches were pretty much off-limits but we crawled through a gap in the chicken wire to look at a few ditches and a couple of tiny, empty chambers. I've no idea why the place is picked out on maps and has signs pointing to it, there's nothing to see here! Leave a Comment

Lindos is famous for the intricately carved doorways or 'pyliones' to their houses and one particular example the guidebooks insist you find is the Captain's House.
There are no signs to it, but as you descend from the Lindos Acropolis you'll probably see the Captain's House Taverna. It took two minutes to walk through the bar and take a snap of the housefront. You can only step into the front room, which has been highly modernised.
I suppose it's worth a quick peek but why exactly the guidebooks pinpoint this as a specific sight is beyond me. There are plenty more doorways, courtyards and gateways in the village which are far more picturesque to discover on your own. Leave a Comment
