Lindos is known for its whitewashed buildings and old-school charm, and you’ll experience all of that as you mooch through the main village. Get lost in the hidden pathways and see the stunning views.
In the middle of the whitewashed buildings and quaint walkways, you’ll find an array of local shops and markets selling hand-crafted items you can take home as souvenirs, with an opportunity to speak to lovely locals along the way.
Lindos is a small but beautiful fraction of the island of Rhodes, and if you’re there for a long time, we’d recommend setting your sights a bit further afield. Head over to Rhodes’ Old Town, or the pretty island of Symi for something a little different.
Originally built in 1300, the ancient church is one that needs to be visited on your trip. It’s found in the hub of Lindos so you really can’t miss it as you roam around.
Lindos might be small, but it’s full of heart and soul with plenty of exciting events either in the village or further afield. Here are a few of the top events to check out on your trip:
Easter (April) - celebrated throughout the whole country, including the islands, with religious processions, egg breaking, traditional rituals, and loads of great grub.
Medieval Festival (May–June) - an annual festival in Rhodes, with live music concerts, theatre productions, workshops, jugglers, horse riding, traditional dancers and so much more.
Festival of Saint Paul (June) - a festival on 29th June to celebrate Saint Paul on the small bay above Lindos.
Lindos Rock Festival (June) - previously known as Lindos Music Week, this is a festival where the village comes alive with rock music, as performers take to the stage.
International Film Festival (August) - an annual international film festival in Rhodes, showcasing the work of filmmakers from all over the world.
The Sound and Light Show (May–October) - an annual celebration of Rhodes history through sound and light. The date of the event varies from year to year, so check if it’s happening during your holiday to Lindos.
Lindos comes alive at night with a diverse nightlife scene, offering quiet bars near the beach or buzzing places to dance the night away. These nightlife spots are worth checking out for the best night ever:
Crazy Moon Cocktail Bar - a family-run bar offering a range of drinks and a buzzing indoor atmosphere with a DJ, or a laidback vibe in the courtyard.
Dreams Cocktail Bar - set in the heart of Lindos, this bar has something for everyone: rooftop views, a dancefloor, and a chilled-out courtyard for evening drinks.
Lindos By Night Bar - a Lindos staple, with its gorgeous rooftop terrace, DJ floor and quiet area where you can sip cocktails under the night sky.

Traditional cuisine in Lindos is heavily influenced by the delicacies in Rhodes, meaning a variety of flavours using fresh and local ingredients. These dishes are well-worth tucking into:
Pitaroudia - the tastiest fritter you’ll ever try, made with mashed chickpeas, chopped tomatoes, and onions
Karavoli - hot snails cooked with tomato sauce, onions, and wild greens
Koulouria - an ancient Greek butter cookie, traditionally eaten as an Easter treat but far too good to just have once a year!
Melekouni - a sweet nut brittle, typically made for weddings and baptisms
Kapamas - a traditional, local dish made with goat, raisins, onions, tomatoes, liver, and pine nuts
Looking for places to eat in Lindos? Check out these top eateries:

With such an amazing landscape, it's easy to see why tourists flock back in their thousands every year on holiday to Lindos. Because the town is pedestrianised you'll be able to stop and enjoy views constantly. When coming in to Lindos, the view of the ancient acropolis looming over the town below is an imposing sight that will stay with you forever. While the town itself is hilly and some may be tired at having to walk around all day, it does provide plenty of exercise, and the lack of cars will be a great bonus for those with children.
The winding streets are narrow and charming, with grape vines covering antiquated buildings to shield people from the sun. Traversing the town is a magnificent experience, with the sight of ruins alongside contemporary buildings forming a truly astonishing landscape. Outside of town the earth is rocky and parched, and even more difficult to walk. If you'd like to head outside of town it may be best to go in the evening when its cooler, and from where you'll be able to watch the sun set over the acropolis with a vast blue sea in the background - ideal for couples.
