Map of Lindos in Rhodes Island Greece
Lindos
Lindos is the most photographed village on the island due to its
traditional whitewashed houses and historic sites of interest. The
resort is approximately 60km South of the airport in the middle of
the East coast. Now a tourist trap, Lindos features many small
shops, bars and restaurants and the village centre is
pedestrianised.
Lindos has two beaches, the main one in Lindos Bay is said to be
amongst the best in Rhodes. The resort is completely surrounded by
hills and therefore temperatures are very high.
Distance from Rhodes City: 50Km
Features and facilities: Public transportation, Food,
Umbrellas and sunbeds, Hotels
Follow the sign for the beach and you'll find yourself at the
left-hand end, while if you go straight down below the
Acropolis, down Pallas St., you will find yourself at the right
hand end, known as Pallas Beach. Basically they are two
different beaches sharing the same bay. Sun beds everywhere,
umbrellas, tavernas, crowds of people - from groups brought by
coach from other parts of Rhodes to Brits who settle in Lindos
each year for the whole summer.
Old-timers reminisce about the little blue flowers that used to
grow in the sand, and about the celebrity yachts which once
anchored here in the beach's heyday. Now, unfortunately, the
place seems to have entered a decline. If you dislike crowds,
make for Pallas Beach, which is relatively quieter. The water is
shallow and ideal for young children. |
