The village is built amphitheatrically and comprises whitewashed houses with pebble-paved courtyards, narrow alleys, and buildings influenced by Byzantine, medieval, Arab, and Rhodian architecture. The Acropolis of Lindos stands atop a 166-meter-high hill. On the summit, 4th-century ruins of the Temple of Athena Lindia reside, as does the Byzantine chapel of Saint John.

More about Lindos

Apart from the beautiful acropolis that can be reached on foot or with a donkey, one of the main attractions of Lindos is the old theatre of the town, carved from a rock into the base of the Acropolis. The Greek Orthodox Church of Panagia in the middle of the town is equally worth a visit, boasting an impressive stone bell tower and vibrant 19th-century wall frescoes.

Various accommodations of all categories as well as restaurants, cafes, and romantic bars can be found in the enchanting Lindos. For a relaxing swim, Lindos Beach (Megali Paralia) is the perfect destination. With its wide stretch of golden sand and deep blue waters, it offers ideal swimming conditions and stunning views of the natural landscapes as well as the Acropolis of Lindos. On the other side of the town, Agios Pavlos Beach is a small cove with stunning rock formations and is another perfect swimming spot. Lindos is also the natural habitat of the Dama-Dama Deer, the unique animal species that has become the island’s symbol.
