   After finishing with the Highlights of Rhodes Town we drive 32 miles (50km) South East of the Island to Lindos - On the way you visit the Anthony Quinn Bay - Scenic IMPORTANT NOTE: On very busy days, Anthony Quinn Bay may become extremely crowded, making it difficult or even impossible for vehicles to access or exit the area due to the high number of parked cars. To avoid losing valuable tour time, we may replace the visit to Anthony Quinn Bay with a brief photo stop (on the way back) at Kallithea Viewpoint instead (please note: we will not enter Kallithea Springs).
