Λίνδος

While many visit Lindos for the village, the coastal hiking path offers a spectacular way to approach the ancient Acropolis. Starting from the main village entrance, the trail skirts the rugged coastline and leads up the steep cliffs overlooking the turquoise waters of St. Paul's Bay. You will pass white-washed houses and narrow alleys before ascending the ancient stone steps to the fortress. The hike provides iconic photo opportunities of the Doric Temple of Athena Lindia against the deep blue sea. The atmosphere is vibrant and historic, blending ancient ruins with the hustle and bustle of a popular tourist destination. This trail is best for those who want to combine light hiking with significant cultural sightseeing. In June, the white stones can be very bright, so sun protection is vital.
