Lindos is located about 50 kilometers south of Rhodes Town, making it an ideal destination for a day trip. The village has a pedestrian-only policy, so be prepared to explore on foot. Wear comfortable shoes as the terrain can be uneven. You’ll find plenty of restaurants serving delicious Greek cuisine, as well as shops offering souvenirs and local crafts. Don’t forget to bring swimwear if you plan to relax at Lindos Beach.
Visiting Lindos can involve a lot of walking, especially if you plan to climb up to the acropolis. Bring water, sunscreen, and a hat, especially during summer. There are donkeys available for hire if the climb seems daunting. Entrance to the acropolis requires a fee, and it’s advisable to carry some cash as not all establishments accept cards.
There are several ways to reach Lindos from Rhodes Town. Public buses run frequently, offering an affordable option with scenic views along the way. Alternatively, you can rent a car for more flexibility or join an organized day tour. Taxis are also available but can be costly. Another popular option is to take a boat tour, which provides a relaxing and scenic journey along the coastline.
Lindos can be visited year-round, but the best time to explore is during spring (April to June) and early autumn (September to October).
