Lindos Lindos No Data

Description


Located on the East Coast of the island, approximately half way down, and with a large sheltered bay Lindos has always been an important settlement, and was for a while the joint capital of the island. The history is evident from the impressive Acropolis high on the hill overlooking the town. The narrow lanes of the Old Town are car free (though not motorbike or donkey free) making it easy to slowly wander around and take in the pretty town centre. You can also head on down hill to the beach and the harbour.

Charge




Getting There

There are regular (at least hourly) buses running between Rhodes and the Bus station in Lindos operated by KETL (Orange buses), that take about an hour to do the journey. From the bus station it’s a stiff 5 minute walk down to the town (and a stiffer 5-10 minute walk back up). Alternatively a shuttle bus runs relatively frequently linking the bus station to the town square and back again. In 2021 the price was 50 cents, and it was well worth it after all the climbing up to the Acropolis. Many tour companies offer day or part day trips that either take in Lindos or are just to Lindos - and it's possible to approach both by coach and by sea - though bear in mind taking the boat means you start at sea level to get up the 116m to the Acropolis.
