Beautiful town, lovely & historic Acropolis, great beaches
Con
Fairly busy and it was off season
In a nutshell
still a must see on Rhodes
Maurizioago Says: I wasn't impressed by this fortress. Perhaps because I know very little about ancient history.The acropolis is built on a rock overlooking Lindos. It is surrounded by well preserved walls built by the knights (and later restored). Inside the walls you can see several remains...
Maurizioago Says: There are some small churches in Lindos, beside the main one. The only opportunity to see their interiors is to join a tour which takes place several days every week, at 10 a. m. The meeting place for this tour (only for small groups) is behind the main church; turn right...
Based in Lindos but touring the island
lindoslady Says: Having lived on Rhodes for several years and working in the tourism industry, I have a fair idea of what makes an interesting excursion. There are several available if visitors want to see a little more of Rhodes and the environs. It is a great way of seeing other places if...
The Church of St George Pachymachiotes
balhannah Says: This is the oldest church in Lindos, dating from the 12th century. It is cruciform in a 'cross-in-square' style, and as with many Lindos churches, the town has been built up around it. You can't go inside as it is kept locked, so enjoy the outside views to the Beach.
DORMITION OF THE HOLY MOTHER OF GOD
balhannah Says: This is the main Church of Lindos. On the ground before the entranceway is one of Lindos' distinctive mosaic pavements made of alternating black and white river pebbles.. It is located amongst narrow alley ways and shops. As you enter the courtyard the Bell tower is on the...
balhannah Says: In times gone by the Acropolis of Lindos was dominated by the massive temple of Athena Lindia, which attained its final form in around 300 BC. In Hellenistic and Roman times the temple precinct grew as more buildings were added. A massive fortress was built on the acropolis...
Maurizioago Says: Probably it was built in the 14th century. It was restored in 1489. Inside it is completely decorated with frescoes painted in 1779. The floor is covered with small white and black peebles. This kind of decoration is called “coclaki”.
Snipernurse Says: The acropolis of Lindos is definately worth the bus ride across the island from Rhodes. With some very interesting ruins and a view of the Bay of St. Paul (where they believed he crashed landed onto Rhodes) it makes for an interesting trip. The temple was said to be built in...
jessy&tessa Says: The temple was erected on the highest point of the acropolis in the fourth or early third century B.C. on the site where the archaic temple, belived to have been destroyed by fire in 392 B.C., previously stood. it is an amphiprostyle structure in the doric order, built of...
jayhawk2000 Says: 'No photo, no camera, no photo' is the mantra chanted in this 15th century church. Unlike remote chapels where you can sneak a snap or two, the attendants here keep a sharp eye out for any offending photography. Which is a shame, because it is highly decorated and has one of...

TO KAMAPIKO: Lovely new restaurant in Lindos
Andiana Says: TO KAMAPIKO opened in 2008, but although it is a new restaurant it is located in a traditional old Lindian house and the tranformation has been really well done. For those who know Lindos it is above and behind what was the old Omega Supermarket.There are lots of small...
Sinatras: The finest restaurant in Lindos
mikeebabee Says: What can I say about Sinatras other than I love this place. As with many other restaurants in Lindos they have a rooftop area and you get great views of the Acropolix and the rest of the town.We have never had a bad meal there and it's pretty evident why. All you need to see...
jayhawk2000 Says: One thing we loved about Pefki was its low-key, open air approach to nightlife. Most all the tavernas and nightspots have huge terraces where you can sit with a meal or drink late into the evening.Almost directly across the street from our holiday flat was Buddies, a small...
balhannah Says: The cheapest way to get to Lindos is by Bus. The buses depart regularly from the station nearby the Tourist Information Centre. There is a booth where you buy your ticket from, and this has the Timetables as well. If you sit on the left hand side of the Bus, you get great...
balhannah Says: I did the Donkey ride! After reading other people's reviews, I must say that I can't see what all the fuss is about. Looking at the Donkeys, they looked well looked after to me. If you are on your own, like I was, then you have to wait for somebody else to take a ride, as...
Maurizioago Says: Buses don't stop in the town center, bus outside and uphill. So that you have to walk for five minutes downhill once you arrive in Lindos. When you are going back to the bus stop you can take a small bus at the town square instead of walking uphill under the burning sun as I...
jayhawk2000 Says: 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...
Lindos Donkey Rides: Abused animals
DvaSrca Says: I am Greek myself and I visited Lindos town in Rhodes, Greece 2 years ago and was disgusted by how the locals treated the poor animals. When they were tired, they hit them to keep going, swore at them and I even saw a man throwing a rock on one of them, because it refused to...
Maurizioago Says: Lindos is a car free town. Streets are really narrow for cars there. The only area where you can find cars and bikes is the town square. This is the only square in Lindos. Here you can find the tourist office, some cafes, restaurants and the taxi stop. The only...
Maurizioago Says: Lindos has two beautiful beaches linked by a path. They aren't far from the town center but you have to climb down lots of stairs to get there.There are some restaurants and shops at one of these beaches. The other should have one or two restaurants if my memory serves me...
