The Ancient Acropolis of Lindos

The Ancient Acropolis of Lindos

Your journey begins with a scenic coach drive through the countryside of Rhodes toward Lindos. The route passes traditional villages, vineyards, and olive groves before arriving in one of the island’s most distinctive historic settlements. Upon arrival, your guide leads you through Lindos, an officially designated archaeological site whose history reaches back to antiquity and continued through Byzantine and medieval periods. As you walk through its narrow cobblestone lanes, whitewashed houses, and traditional village streets, you make your way toward the foot of the ancient Acropolis.

The ascent to the Acropolis is rewarded with one of the most memorable views in Rhodes. At the summit, you visit the remains of the sanctuary dedicated to Lindian Athena, including the Doric Temple, set within the walls of a later Crusader-era castle built by the Knights of St. John. From this elevated setting, you look out over Lindos, the sea, and the small fishing harbor of Psarto, associated by legend with the arrival of St. Paul in the region. After exploring the Acropolis, you return to the village for free time to stroll among its cobblestone streets, whitewashed houses, and colorful shops before rejoining your coach for the return journey.
