The Basics

Lindos is about 50 km south of Rhodes Town, making it an easy day trip destination. Entry to the village is free, but there is a fee to visit the Acropolis. The village is pedestrian-only, so wear comfortable shoes as you’ll be walking a lot. The area is home to cozy cafes, artisan shops, and plenty of spots to relax after exploring the historic sites.

Things to Know Before You Go

The streets of Lindos can get quite crowded during peak hours, especially in the summer months. Arriving early is key to enjoying the village at its quietest. Bring cash, as some small shops and eateries might not accept cards. Also, pack sunscreen and a hat—shade can be scarce, particularly when climbing to the Acropolis.

How to Get There

Lindos is easily accessible by car, bus, or boat from Rhodes Town. Public buses run frequently and are budget-friendly, while guided tours often include transportation. For a scenic option, consider taking a boat trip that offers stunning coastal views. Parking is available outside the village, as cars are not permitted within.

When to Get There

The best time to visit Lindos is early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat and crowds. Spring and autumn are particularly pleasant for exploring, with cooler temperatures and fewer tourists. If visiting in summer, evenings are magical as the village is beautifully lit, and you can enjoy a peaceful stroll through its narrow streets.

Day Trips from Rhodes

Lindos is a perfect hub for exploring nearby attractions. Combine your visit with a trip to St. Paul’s Bay, just a short walk from the village, for a relaxing swim. Alternatively, head to the nearby Vlycha Beach for more tranquility. Guided boat trips often include stops at Lindos, along with snorkeling opportunities at nearby coves. Wrap up your day with dinner at a rooftop taverna, enjoying traditional Greek cuisine with views of the Acropolis.
