The map below depicts historic Lindos town, the south eastern side of the island and the surrounding villages. This neatly clustered, white washed village, nestling at the foot of the Acropolis, which claims to be older than the Acropolis of Athens, is only 35 miles south of Rhodes town. Lindos has historic interests combined with colorful shops, and a bustling nightlife in winding cobbled streets which are virtually traffic free. Of the many places throughout Greece which proclaim the importance of beauty, Lindos could certainly claim first place, it is an ideal holiday resort to which many people return year after year to enjoy the lovely beaches, excellent scenery and sophisticated nightlife.
