Rhodes

Clifftop village & bays

Lindos

50 min · 47 km from the centre

The island's postcard — a dazzling white village of car-free lanes and captains' mansions huddled below a clifftop ancient acropolis, wrapped by two sheltered swimming bays. A romantic, pricey base an hour south of town; stay for the magic once the day-trippers leave.

  • 2.Lindos & its AcropolisThe island's showstopper — a dazzling white village of car-free lanes below a clifftop acropolis of ancient temples and crusader walls, looking down on the perfect blue horseshoe of St Paul's Bay. Climb up (or take a donkey) for one of the great views in Greece; go early or stay overnight to beat the crowds.
  • 9.St Paul's Bay, LindosAn almost-enclosed circle of clear turquoise water below the Lindos acropolis, reached down a path from the village — sheltered, scenic and perfect for a swim, with a tiny chapel where St Paul is said to have landed. The dreamy swim to pair with the acropolis climb; the water is calm and warm.
  • 13.PrasonisiThe island's wild southern tip, where a sandbar joins a rocky islet with the sea on both sides — flat, shallow water one side and waves the other, making it a world-class windsurfing and kitesurfing spot. A long but spectacular drive down; come to ride the wind, or just to stand where two seas meet.
