Lindos is only an hour by Bus from Rodos, and is well worth the visit.
It is located in the South East of Rhodes Island.
It was once one of Rhodes' ancient and important cities and grew to prosperity under the Knights of St. John. Little or no changes can be made to the buildings, many of which have survived since the 15th Century. which means it has retained that old world feeling.
The architectural style of the village is a mixture of Gothic, Byzantine Greek and middle Eastern influences. The village also has many traditional, distinctive, white and black "chochlaki" pebbled floors.
No vehicles other than motorbikes, small delivery vans and the donkeys which carry tourists to the acropolis are allowed on the paved streets.
I think that is great! You have to watch out for the Donkeys though, the streets are narrow.
The buildings have lovely facades, doorways and windows with carvings.
Pretty!
The old town itself is a maze of narrow streets, just like Rodos, begging to be explored!
There are small shops selling, clothes and jewelery, pottery, custom made sandals and leather goods, and regional crafts.
I saw some beautiful original hand painted plates, would have liked to buy, but too heavy to take home!!
There's plenty to choose from.
And don't forget the ancient Acropolis on top of the hill, worth the climb or the Donkey ride, which ever you choose. Just remember, coming back down is easy!
- Pros:Beautiful scenery and the town was gorgeous!
- Cons:Fairly busy and it was off season
- In a nutshell:A must visit while visiting Rhodes

Great tips. I still haven't been here.
Rhodes was my favorite island from the Greek cruise we took, nice little page on Lindos!
Nice page brought back pleasant memories. We hired a car for the day, bus would be easier and far cheaper. Parked at top of hill easy walk done, hard work return.
I wanted to do the donkey ride but it was a lot cheaper to use my feet...LOL
Great tips again.
good photos.
