THE HISTORY

Lindos and its Ancient Acropolis

Lindos is one of Rhodes’ most famous villages, long inhabited and dominated by its Acropolis. Perched 535 feet above the bay, the site overlooks the medieval castle, the sandy beach and the sugar‑cubed houses below; your visit includes a guided walk through the village’s narrow streets and a stop at the Byzantine Church of the Ascension.

THE SCENERY

Panoramic views from Monte Smith and the Aegean approach

The route includes a scenic drive through Rhodes town with a climb to Monte Smith for sweeping views of the island and the Aegean Sea; from here you can also glimpse the Acropolis of Rhodes and the ancient stadium from a distance—ideal photo opportunities along the way.

THE ROUTE

Private, tailored orientation with a local driver

This private tour pairs door‑to‑door transport with personalized commentary from an English‑speaking driver, letting you tailor stops to your interests while covering both the city’s main sights and the hilltop charms of Lindos.
