Built on a slope, Lindos is the most attractive and popular village on the island. This picturesque town should definitely be on your list of things to do in Rhodes. The whitewashed labyrinth of little alleyways was deliberately designed to confuse pirates; today this layout makes wandering around the town with its small shops and cafes a real adventure!
So, after visiting the Acropolis, the adventure inside Lindos village starts at about 11am.
