Lindus, Ancient Greek archaeological site and polis in Rhodes, Greece

The Acropolis of Lindus rises 116 meters above sea level, featuring stone structures, columns, and pathways that extend across multiple terraces.

The Temple of Athena Lindia, constructed around 300 BC, stood as the central religious structure within the fortified walls of the ancient city.

The excavations between 1900 and 1914 by Danish archaeologists revealed extensive architectural elements, statues, and ceremonial objects from different periods.

Visitors need to climb 292 steps to reach the summit, with guided tours available from April through October between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM.

The temple chronicle from 99 BC lists dedications from historical figures including Alexander the Great and Helen of Troy.
