Lindos trip planner

A medieval settlement on the island of Rhodes, Lindos provides a mix of ancient history and modern attractions. Home to less than 4,000 inhabitants who are greatly outnumbered by foreign visitors at the height of tourist season, the small town remains most famous for its age-old acropolis, perched on top of a prominent cypress-covered hill. Below the ancient structure spreads a community of whitewashed homes and narrow alleys lined with hip boutiques, bars, and cafes located in old buildings with striking relief facades. Soak up the ancient atmosphere by taking a donkey ride up to the acropolis, or rent a scooter and spend a few days exploring the area's Turkish, Frankish, and Byzantine ruins.
