The best moments are early and late, when the heat drops. This page gathers the places and plans that suit two people. St Paul’s Bay at sunset St Paul’s Bay lies south of the Acropolis rock, a small, almost enclosed bay with a chapel, Agios Pavlos, on its edge. Local legend says the apostle Paul landed here, and the chapel is a popular wedding setting, with free access. https://mad-traveller.com/posts/walking-lindos-lanes-steps-and-bay/?v=1 Sat, 31 Oct 2026 08:20:26 +0000 https://mad-traveller.com/posts/walking-lindos-lanes-steps-and-bay/?v=1 Lindos is built for walking. The village is car-free inside its lanes, the sights sit within a few minutes of each other and the best routes need no guide. This page sets out a self-guided circuit, with timings and notes on shoes, shade and the best hours. Before you start Lindos is hot in summer, with afternoons regularly above 35 C in July and August, and the stone underfoot is polished and slippery. https://mad-traveller.com/posts/sightseeing-in-lindos-acropolis-and-church/?v=1 Sat, 31 Oct 2026 08:15:38 +0000 https://mad-traveller.com/posts/sightseeing-in-lindos-acropolis-and-church/?v=1 Lindos packs several sights into one small area, and almost all of them can be seen on foot in a day. The Acropolis is the main draw, and the village and the bay below add two or three smaller stops. This page covers each in the order most visitors see them. The Acropolis The Acropolis of Lindos stands above the village and the sea. The site has a Doric stoa, the propylaea, the Temple of Athena Lindia and the walls of the Knights’ castle. https://mad-traveller.com/posts/planning-two-to-three-days-in-lindos/?v=1 Sat, 31 Oct 2026 08:14:07 +0000 https://mad-traveller.com/posts/planning-two-to-three-days-in-lindos/?v=1 Lindos does not have organised multi-day tours of its own. It is a small village of lanes beneath an acropolis, and the sensible way to spend more than a day here is to base yourself in or near the village and fit together the sights, the sea and a trip or two along the coast. The plan below works for two to three nights, with a fourth day for Rhodes Town if you have it. https://mad-traveller.com/posts/lindos-with-children-beaches-and-boats/?v=1 Sat, 31 Oct 2026 08:13:43 +0000 https://mad-traveller.com/posts/lindos-with-children-beaches-and-boats/?v=1 Lindos suits families who like beaches, boats and a short history lesson, though the steps, the heat and the car-free lanes need some planning. This page lists what works with children, what to skip and how to handle the climb. Lindos Main Beach Lindos Main Beach is the easiest place for children. It is organised, with sunbeds for hire, and the seabed is described as shelving gently, which helps with small swimmers. https://mad-traveller.com/posts/day-trips-from-lindos-rhodes-town-symi/?v=1 Sat, 31 Oct 2026 08:13:06 +0000 https://mad-traveller.com/posts/day-trips-from-lindos-rhodes-town-symi/?v=1 Lindos sits at the end of the road on the southeast coast of Rhodes, so nearly every day trip runs back towards Rhodes Town, about 50 km north. The village itself is the main attraction, and a full day here is easy to fill. The options below suit travellers who have a second or third day and want to see more of the island. Rhodes Town and the Old Town The most practical day trip is the UNESCO-listed Medieval City of Rhodes. https://mad-traveller.com/posts/lindos-attractions-and-organised-tours/?v=1 Sat, 31 Oct 2026 08:12:33 +0000 https://mad-traveller.com/posts/lindos-attractions-and-organised-tours/?v=1 Lindos packs a lot into a small area, and the choice for most visitors is between seeing it independently and joining an organised trip from Rhodes Town. This page covers the main attractions in the village, then the tour formats that include it, with prices in euros. Attractions in the village Acropolis of Lindos. The headline attraction has a Doric stoa, a propylaea, the Temple of Athena Lindia and Knights’ castle walls. https://mad-traveller.com/posts/things-to-do-in-lindos-rhodes/?v=1 Sat, 31 Oct 2026 08:12:10 +0000 https://mad-traveller.com/posts/things-to-do-in-lindos-rhodes/?v=1 Lindos is a compact village on the southeast coast of Rhodes, about 50 km from Rhodes Town and built beneath a rock crowned by an ancient acropolis.

Prices are in euros. The UK Foreign Office has no advice against travel to Greece or Rhodes, though the countryside has a high wildfire risk from April to October, so follow local guidance and the 112 alerts on your phone.
