The Lindos Acropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a must-visit attraction in Lindos. Take a leisurely stroll along the winding streets to the top of the hill and marvel at the ancient ruins. You can find several well-preserved structures, including the Temple of Athena Lindia, the Hellenistic Stoa, and the fortifications of the Byzantine era. Take in the sweeping views of the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding landscapes from this spot.
Experience nature's tranquility is at its best in the Seven Springs. Located in a serene valley, the area is known for its verdant landscapes, springs and streams forming small lakes and waterfalls. Take a short hike through the forest, and then plunge into the cool waters or rent a paddle and explore the area full of caves and rocky formations, including the Monastery and Castle of Tsampika.
Enjoy a laid-back day on one of the stunning beaches in the area. There are two sandy beaches in Lindos, the Pallas and St. Paul's Bay. Pallas Beach is the most popular and busiest, while St. Paul's Bay offers a calmer, more secluded atmosphere. Rent a sun-lounger and umbrella or book a water sport activity. There are plenty of beachfront restaurants and cafes which serve drinks and delicious seafood and Mediterranean dishes.
Take a ride on a glass-bottom boat that offers scenic views of the Lindos coastline. The tour starts from Lindos Harbour and takes you to the picturesque village of Charaki and its medieval fortress on top of the hill. The boat then sails towards the south past the stunning secluded coves and beaches of Haraki, Vigla and Kalathos. You can also have a chance to enjoy swimming and snorkelling in the clear blue waters before returning to the harbour.
For a more adventurous day out, you can rent a scooter or bike and roam around the island at your own pace. If you have more than four days, you can visit other nearby locations such as the ancient city of Rhodes, the Valley of Butterflies, the Acropolis of Lindos, and take a wine tour in Embonas. For those who prefer some windsurfing action, Prasonisi Beach, located about 1 hour away, is one of the best destinations in Greece. If you have less time, you can shorten your trips or select the most favorable options from the itinerary above.
