Lindos

A Blend of Sacred History and Serene Island Charm

Lindos is the jewel of Rhodes — a whitewashed village cascading down to a turquoise bay beneath its ancient Acropolis. It’s a place where myth, sea, and sunlight have danced together for centuries. With its cobblestone alleys, blue-domed chapels, and breathtaking views, Lindos feels timeless — a blend of sacred history and serene island charm.

Historical & Cultural Background

Founded around 1000 BC by the Dorians, Lindos was once one of Rhodes’ most powerful city-states and an important maritime hub. Its Acropolis, dedicated to Athena Lindia, stands proudly above the village — a sacred site where mythology and history converge. Through Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman eras, Lindos remained a center of worship and culture. Today, it’s a living museum surrounded by sea and sky, where every stone still carries the whisper of ancient prayers.
