Lindos Travel Guide: 170 reviews and 314 photos

It is a traditional village around 50 km from the city of Rodos.The first impression is amazing. A visitor feels like beeing in an island of Cyclades.
Narrow paved streets going up and down, white sparkling houses with courtyards,
alleys, souvenir shops of folk art,cafe-bars.You are not going to see any car inside the settlement. The cars the stop at the entrance of the village where is the square and a big tree.
The white houses have flat roofs, courtyards and the streets are stone-paved.
At the main square arrive every moment buses, cars and taxis with tourists.
The streets are full of the shops wares such as woven items, ceramics, bags, sandals, clothes.

Lindos' beach is always full till late in the evening. Later, the tourists come out again to visit some of the numerous bars of the village.
The architecture of Lindos is different from the architecture of any other place
on the island.
The ship-owners mansions (16th, 17th and 18th century) with the stoned-facades dominate the area.

The Municipallity of Lindos is located at the south-east side of the island about 50 km from the city of Rodos.The Municipality consists of the following villages: Lindos, Lardos,Laerma,Kalathos and Pylonas.
The village of Lindos has a history of thousands of years from the period of the rich Lindian ship-owners.It used to be one of the three doric cities of the island.
The main occupation of the locals had to do with sea due to infertility of the ground.
Nowadays, the main occupation is the tourism.
