One of the best low-key places in Greece. Overshadowed by more tourist heavy places like Mykonos, Lindos is a true gem in the Greek Islands.
The Lindos Acropolis. July, 2020.
Lindos is a small town on the Greek island of Rhodes, a bit less than an hour’s drive south of Rhodes Town. It is small an hilly, with amazing food and a few nice beaches. Not to mention the coastal caves and the amazing Lindos Acropolis.

I put this post together and saved it as a draft two years ago and just now realized it. Whoops.

Well I guess this post isn’t as verbose as some of my other posts but hopefully you enjoyed the pictures. A few notable recommendations:
) The Lindos Watersports - Boat rental service on Pallas Beach. I met the owner Michael on my first trip to Lindos, after his mom replied to one of my FB inquiries looking for a boat to rent. The experience was charming and wonderful and I’m always sure to check in and rent a boat from him when I’m in town.
) The Pallas Beach Taverna - Pallas Beach (and Lindos Beach for that matter) are all the way at the bottom of the island’s hills. And let’s be honest, hiking up and down hills in 42 degree Celsius weather is not something you want to do more than you need to. Luckily Pallas Beach Taverna has amazing Greek food and great cocktails that will keep you fed and watered from breakfast till dinner without having to move more than 4 meters. Solid.
Other things:
We have tried at least eight different rooftop restaurants at sunset. They were all amazing. Make reservations at least a day in advance if you have one in particular you want to go to.
If you are exploring the rest of the island, stay at the top of the city near the road. You will have great views of the sunset and won’t have to go too far to get to your car. If you are staying in Lindos the whole time, stay in the middle or lower part of the city. You will save many steps to and from the stores/restaurants, and beaches. And you can still get amazing sunset views from a rooftop restaurant.
That’s it for now. Please like and comment if you have any questions!
