What it's like
Lindos is a whitewashed village on the east side of Rhodes. Its many historic houses are known as Captains' houses, often dating from the 16th to 18th centuries, and they are scattered around the village among its lanes.
A visit is mostly a walk. The backstreets wind among the whitewashed buildings, and the free maps show no street names, so getting a little lost is part of it. The Church of the Assumption is free to enter and is covered in ornate icons and decoration.
Good to know
- Free maps from the tourist information center show no street names, so getting a little lost is easy and part of the walk.
- Taxis are dark blue with white roofs; outside the city limits the meter should always be running.
