Lindos (Rhodes)

Advantages: Lovely, Clean, Quite
Disadvantages: Hilly walk to town

...We as a family visited Lindos in October 2004, we where their as a party of 18 people including young children and elderly. Lindos was our chosen destination to get married. Why Choose Lindos: We choose Lindos due to its lovely scenery, Cost effective, Transfer for Airport to Lindos This can be a little scary, as the driver's batter along these long and open roads with not a care in the world. Or so it appears. It takes about 45/55 mins to get ...
...with walking difficulties. Lindos Offers: Lindos is all focused around one area; we referred to this as the down town. Not as bad as it seems. It's just that in order to get to the town you had to navigate a rather hilly road, tho there was the option to get a free bus down, (set times),and of course you could jump in a taxi for this too. Once in the town it's an amazing place to be, you are greeted with bars, restaurants, novelty shops, crepe ... Read review

Advantages: Freindly, relaxed atmosphere
Disadvantages: Slippery streets and some may find it too hot

...old Sea Captains houses that Lindos is famous for. Be prepared though because Greece is basic, very basic but we did have a lrage fridge/freezer and kettle which was great. The apartment had two rooms one with two single beds and a baby crib and the other room had three single beds and the usual bedroom furniture. It was apparent that someone had tried very hard to make the apartment "homely" which was a really nice touch. The only slight drawback ...
...to be aware of in Lindos - it's hot and when I say hot I mean hot, we did go in August (not the hottest month that's July) so were expecting good weather but I dont think we had a day where the temperature was under 30 degrees C. As soon as the sun came up in the morning it was hotter than you can imagine and there' s no respite from the heat. One day it even reached 43, which is not unusual. Weddings - many people are choosing Lindos as a destination ... Read review

Advantages: Quiet enough but with the option of a more lively time. The food, the people, the beaches and the weather,
Disadvantages: Hills may not be suitable for some people. The weather, sometimes it can be TOO hot.

...not to say how good Lindos is just in case too many people start going there! I returned to Rhodes after visiting Lindos 10 years ago, I'd always said I'd go back, I just wish I'd not left it so long. The village can only be described as picturesque, set into a hillside and made up of small, white, flat roofed houses, most of which are hundreds of years old. Overlooking the village is the ancient Acropolis, well worth a trip upto, though walking ...
...fantastic. The beaches in Lindos are pure sand, though the fact that Lindos seems to be about 5 degress hotter than anywhere else in Rhodes means that walking to the sea is like walking on hot coals. There's always a sunbed for hire and the beaches aren't too crowded either. Although the Village gives a sleepy, relaxed, impression, there's some damn good bars in the village, though most shut at about 1am due to the noise controls, try Antika, just ... Read review

Advantages: Absolutely Beautiful and Idyllic
Disadvantages: A Tad Hilly

We stayed at The Lindos Gardens Hotel/Complex in Lindos In June 2005. Which is approximately 10/15 minutes walk down a fairly steep hill to Lindos town and (depending on who you're with and their walking abilities) about 20/25 minutes walk back up the hill from Lindos Town. (I advise that people with walking difficulties or Asthma problems may want to avoind this destination. Lindos town is like something you'd find on a picture postcard. Lots of ...
...on the main road from Lindos to Faliraki and Rhodes Town, (rather like a large square). Here you'll find numerous buses which will take you to any number of places on the Island. Across the road/square from the bus stops is a kiosk from which you buy your tickets for the destination you wish to go to by bus. The kiosk is among a couple of supermarkets, which are very well priced. For example, at our hotel it'd cost 1 Euro for 500ml of mineral water, ... Read review

Advantages: Great for Culture and sight Seeing
Disadvantages: Can be very Windy

Lindos is excellent, we stayed in the Lindos Memories just outside of the town, Lindos town was a short Taxi ride away only a couple of Euro's. Lindos is a very old town, very hilly with narrow winding streets, with the Acropolis at the top of the cliff. We actually had our best holiday ever in Lindos. The weather was extremely hot as it is in the south of the Island, and it can be very windy. Be very careful during the day as you can burn very easily ...
...There are many restaurants in Lindos Most have roof Terraces with views across the bay and up to the Acropolis. Our favourite reastaurant was a Mexican restaurant in Lindos itself, excellent Traditional Mexican food. During the day Lindos town is flooded with coach loads of visitors on day trips to see the Acropolis, so I would recommend that you visit the Acropolis 1st thing on a morning before the coaches arrive, and save wondering round the streets ...
