Back to the Middle Ages

Today’s Lindos is a small town in the South-East of Rhodes with a population of about 4,000 people. And in the days of Homer here was a thriving polis, a city-state, famous for its brave navigators.
Ancient architecture fragments of the Temple of Athena and the amphitheater are perfectly kept up to now. Ancient buildings are adjacent to the walls, built in the Middle Ages.
You can leave your car here and explore the city on foot for a while.

Mythos restaurant is located in a very picturesque place. Its terrace offers a beautiful view of the ancient acropolis of Lindos, the sea and the city. The terrace is decorated with numerous sculptures and floral hedges, and the citrus trees are also grown here. The overall pleasant impression is supported by the friendly attitude of the staff and large portions of delicious dishes.

A small church beneath Acropolis might mislead you by its size. But don't hesitate to visit: the chapelle was built in the 15th century, and the paintings inside date back to the 18th century.

The spacious sandy beach of Lindos stretches along the bay. There are all conditions for comfortable swimming—the bottom without corals and sharp stones, quite shallow and warm sea. The beach is equipped with showers, sun beds and umbrellas.
After the bathe, go get your car and hit the road.

Start exploration of the west coast of the island with the Monolithos Castle. The majestic building, rising to 100 meters above sea level, protected the inhabitants of the island against invasions of foreigners.
Don't be frightened that the castle is almost in ruins. The walk here is really worth visiting. Apart from touching the medieval history, you are going to get an incredible scenic view and a small chapel of Saint Panteleimon, very well-preserved till nowadays.

Genuine, delicious, family-style. The hosts serve guests of the tavern themselves, they are always happy to offer their assistance in the choice of dishes. As good for food, as for experience of Greek hospitality.

And the last castle for today. The Kritinia Castle combines elements of Byzantine and Venetian architecture. Like many castles of the island, it was built by the Knights of the Order of Saint John.
Above the main gate of the castle, you can find the family arms of the great masters, who ruled Rhodes in the Middle Ages.

An ideal place to watch the sunset on the beach and enjoy the delicious seafood. Friendly and beautiful atmosphere and some fish for diner is all you need now.

It's time to rest. Find yourself a nice hotel to relax after a long day. Let the sounds of the sea take you to your most beautiful dreams.
