    5 Stars A lovely place, Lindos Review with images 03/05/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lovely, Clean, Quite

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Hilly walk to town

    What can I say about this destination? Lovely, Beautiful, Quite, Perfect 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 to Lindos. Lindos its self is very hilly and we would not recommend it to ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Freindly, relaxed atmosphere

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slippery streets and some may find it too hot

    After a very negative experience last year which resulted in a last minute booking in Rhodes and being stuck in the resort of Faliraki (with my thirteen year old daughter) the only good thing to come out of the week was a day trip to Lindos. We loved it so much we booked to come back again, but this time for a week. We booked through our local travel agent and our holiday company was olympic travel, we had great flights and good transfers, though be prepapred for a bit of a wait at Rodes airport as everyone is rounded up and onto the buses that will take you to your accomodation. We arrived in ... more

    5 Stars Lindos, Rhodes 11/07/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quiet enough but with the option of a more lively time. The food, the people, the beaches and the weather,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Hills may not be suitable for some people. The weather, sometimes it can be TOO hot.

    I'm tempted 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 is a bit of a trek. You can take a donkey up there but personally, I find it a bit cruel to have some poor animal carry my 14 stone up a ... more

    5 Stars All Roads Point To Rhodes 15/07/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Absolutely Beautiful and Idyllic

    Disadvantages 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 narrow streets, teaming on either side with various kinds of shops. From supermarkets, bars, crepe bars (try the Sugar/Baileys Crepe they're ... more

    5 Stars Lindos in Rhodes 16/02/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great for Culture and sight Seeing

    Disadvantages 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 and bring plenty of cool clothes as it wasn't much cooler on a night. Try and stay in a Hotel with Air conditioning if possible, you'll need it ... more

    5 Stars Lindos - Rhodes 02/08/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Small, friendly and quite(ish)

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    This little town on the island of Rhodes is absolutely beautiful. In fact that telling other tourists about this village would be a mistake as the more tourists that visit it the less special it will be. As a rule I decided a few years ago that i would never go back to the same place on holiday as there are just too many places in the world to visit. However, Lindos breaks that rule. This little town is totally pedestrianised as its streets are very narrow. The streets all have grape vines covering them and this keeps all the stalls, locals and tourists cool from the sun. The town is ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages excellent range of bars/ restaurants and outdoor activies

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no air conditioning in some hotel rroms

    I travelled to Lindos in August 2004 to be best man at a wedding. The wedding took place outside a small church in one of the bays. The whole area of lindos has some amazing scenery and is a must for anyone wishing to relax and enjoy everything from the sun, sea, sand, beer and a must of all the Acropolis. The Acropolis is partially in ruin, however there is currently a project to have this amazing structure built again. You can see the whole town of lindos from the top of the Acropolis. You can either walk up the path on foot or travel up by donkey with the help of the local villagers. There ... more

    Advantages Advantages Well placed-Friendly-Ideal for mixed age groups

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Daytime influx of coach trippers.Difficult access for those with mobility problems

    I have recently returned from Lindos on the Greek island of Rhodes,where my family (Me,OH,DD10,DS8.& DNiece24)and I had a wonderful holiday.We have been to the same destination 2 years in a row (previously unheard of!) You can Google Lindos and find tons of info on attractions,bars and shops,this is more about the little things that make a place special.I won't tell you about the acropolis and the the beaches,they are fab but not what brought us back.We were drawn back by the welcomeing homely feeling of the place. Maybe it was because we went early in the year (and the residents hadn't yet ... more

    5 Stars Rhodes - Lindos (Heavenly!) 26/07/2000
    User recommends the product
    Twice now I have been to Lindos in Rhodes and I must say it is a hard resort to beat. Because it is an ancient port, it is very picturesque, no cars are permitted in town, indeed there is no room for cars through the narrow streets. The town cannot really be expanded upon because of its location which makes it very quaint. There are many bars and taverna's and the music stops at 1am. After that, if you wish to dance the night away, there are soundproofed nightclubs and a couple of clubs out of the main town. The main beach is nice and the sea crystal clear and clean. The people, as ever, are ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A full and varied holiday location that I would recommend to anyone.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Dangerous rental vehicles.. If in doubt don't drive it.

    I went to Lindos eariler this year. I have to say that it is the best holiday I have ever had. Lindos is a perfectly charming town. The streets are narrow and traffic free. The shops are many and varied. The locals are the friendliest I have ever met! The nightlife is great, but not to noisy. There are only a couple of clubs that have a late license. Don't worry about which apartment to go to. They are all ideally located. Don't be fooled to think that all areas of Rhodes are great. Rhodes is interesting and fun but Falaraki is just for the kids. Which is fine, it keeps them out of Lindos. The ... more
