About Lindos

Lindos climbs the slope below an ancient acropolis with the Temple of Athena Lindia, above two bays, one of them the tiny, enclosed St Paul’s Bay. It is beautiful and very popular: the lanes fill with day visitors by mid-morning. Climb the acropolis early or late, and stay the night if you can.
