About

Looming over the town of Lindos, this historic fortified citadel holds several ancient structures, including the Doric Temple of Athena Lindia, The Castle of the Knights of St John, and an amphitheater. The acropolis offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and the town below. Donkey rides are a traditional mode of transport here and remain a popular way of climbing the village's steep hills. On the way up, you'll pass by white-washed houses, quaint shops, and restaurants offering traditional Greek fare. Lindos is a 30-mile bus ride from Rhodes Town, and you'll need to purchase a ticket to enter the acropolis. – Tripadvisor
