Unless you are actually staying in Lindos your first approach will from the top of the surrounding hills, so you will be greeted by the spectacular view; The ancient Acropolis set at the highest point of the town overlooking the sea, the crecent of sand and clear sparkling waters of St Pauls bay, and the tightly packed traditional greek white houses, shops and Villas; accented with the odd Italian style villa left over from the 1930's when Rhodes was an Italian governed island.
As you proceed downhill toward the town square you can either turn left toward the beach or continue straight on through the maze of vine covered narrow streets and the vast array of small local stores, where you can purchase everything from an engagement ring to traditional Greek lace dresses.
Another thing that Lindos is not short of is the most wonderful Tavernas, cafes, and no trip to Lindos would be complete without a visit to a crepe bar for a chocolate and banana crepe and sweet frappe coffee.
The Acropolis of Rhodes is a bit of a steep walk and takes about 20 - 30 minutes, but most of it is with no shade and the higher you get the hotter it gets. Make sure you take your own water because the drinks kiosk outside the entrance to the Acropolis is probably the only rip-off you will come across on the whole of the island.
You may opt to take a Lindos taxi, ( a donkey in other words), but some of you may ( as i did) object to the treatment of the animals. As much as they say it looks harsher than it relly is, i'd rather get confirmation of that from one of the donkeys.
All in all no trip to Rhodes will be complete without a visit to this truly beautiful little town.
