Review & FAQ:

Lindos is an incredibly charming medieval village on the island of Rhodes in the Dodecanese islands, an important archaeological site, a popular tourist destination, and one of Greek's national treasures. It is one of those rare places where no large hotels are allowed, and the narrow cobblestoned streets are traffic-free. The entire village is full of whitewashed houses that resemble sugar cubes clinging to the sides of the hill, with the massive ancient Lindos Acropolis at its top.

Some of the most important parts of Acropolis are the Doric Temple of Athena, the relief of a Rhodian Trireme, the Propylaea of the Sanctuary, Castle of the Knights of St John, the Greek Orthodox Church of St John, and a second century Hellenistic staircase. Among the medieval walls there are narrow lanes with taverns, bars, and restaurants, many set on the rooftop gardens. A fascinating mix of Roman, Italian, Turkish, and Byzantine influence is evident everywhere in the Lindos.
