Lindos, probably the most famous village in the Greek Islands. As you turn the last bend before the village a view awaits you like no other. The white sugar cube houses nestling on the slopes of the Acropolis upon which lies the partially restored 4th century BC temple of Lindia Athena.

   

The temple is surrounded by the medieval castle walls built in the 14th century by the Knights of St. John Crusaders to repulse the Turkish invaders. Below the Acropolis on the northern side are the main crescent shaped Lindos bay and beach and below the sheer southern cliffs the delightful St. Paul’s Bay where the apostle first landed bringing Christianity to the island.  Lindos brings people back year after year.

   

Although the advent of mass tourism in the 1970’s has inevitably seen the development of the village from a quiet Aegean backwater to the thriving resort it is today it is still a place like no other. The village is traffic free (apart from the donkeys) as the streets are very narrow. Many famous artists, writers and musicians have lived and worked or have holiday homes in Lindos and famous faces can still occasionally be seen.

For RhodesRockers there is a great selection of bars, restaurants & shops many of which are located in historical buildings. Here are some photos of this magical place but beware ! Lindos is habit forming !!!! It's unique, beautiful & very, very friendly. And in June it rocks !
