Lindos, once a key city of wealth and prosperity, embodies the essence of ancient Greece. Immerse yourself in the historic richness of this coastal town by participating in an optional, engaging tour of the Acropolis, where every booking comes with a tablet to bring relics to life. ‘My enthusiasm for guiding in Lindos, home to some of Greece’s earliest acropolises, is immense. I revel in wandering the labyrinth of chalky lanes, with a particular fondness for the Captain’s House and its delightful pebble mosaic flooring,’ shares Fotini, one of our tour guides.
The historical significance of Rhodes and Lindos meant that the Knights of St John constructed fortifying walls in the 13th century to safeguard the stronghold. The option is yours to enter the archaeological site for a nominal fee, payable on the day. Should you decide to enter, be sure to utilize the supplied tablet to its fullest - it provides an amazing glimpse into the past appearances of the Acropolis.
