Lindos, Ancient settlement in Rhodes, Greece
The white stone houses of Lindos cover the hillside beneath a massive rock formation topped by the ancient Acropolis at 166 meters elevation.
The Dorians established Lindos in the 10th century BC, developing it into a significant Mediterranean trading center by the 8th century BC.
The Greek Orthodox Church of Panagia stands in the center of Lindos, displaying nineteenth-century wall frescoes and a prominent bell tower.
Visitors should arrive early in the morning to secure parking spaces and avoid the strong midday sun when climbing to the Acropolis.
The archaeological remains at the Acropolis include the Temple of Athena Lindia from 300 BC and multiple fortification layers from different civilizations.
