What it's like
The Acropolis of Lindos sits on a rocky hill above the village of Lindos. Its remains reach back through many ancient civilizations, and the most visible structure is a 4th-century BC Doric temple dedicated to Athena Lindia.
A visit means a steep, slippery climb of more than 250 steps, so it suits walkers in sturdy shoes. Lindos Beach and St Paul's Bay lie at the foot of the hill, and the view from the top takes in the bay below.

- The climb is very steep and slippery, with more than 250 steps, and has no handrails.
