What you'll see and do
Village of Lindos
Lindos is for most visitors the most impressive archaeological site on Rhodes. The dramatic natural landscape is enhanced by the picturesque quality of the more modern town, with the Lindos Acropolis rising dominantly on a steep cliff at 116 m height like a sovereign podium overlooking the sea, framed by mighty fortress walls.

The Church of the Panagia
Just off the main square in Lindos, this cross-shaped 14th century church has an octagonal dome and whitewashed walls. Its dark interior, with a black and white pebbled floor, is decorated with eighteenth-century frescoes of male saints on the right and female on the left. An inscription notes that additions were made to the building in 1489-90.

Acropolis of Lindos
On the summit of the Lindos Acropolis are the ruins of the goddess Athena Lindia, temples from the 4th century BC As well as the Propylaea, the great Hellenistic Stoa and the Byzantine chapel of Saint John. In the time of the Knights of St. John, the castle is surrounded by sturdier fortress walls while the flowering period of Lindos extends as a naval power up to the 19th century. According to myth, the cult of Athena Lindia was pre-Hellenic, although this is not borne out by the sporadic excavation finds. The history of the sanctuary begins in the Geometric period (9th c. BC). In the Archaoc period the tyrant of Lindos, Kleoboulos, revived the cult and built a temple, probably on the site of an earlier one. The Archaic temple had the same Doric tetrastyle amphiprostyle plan as the subsequent one.

I wish i could come here every day
I wish I could come here more times, this place has an amazing, unbeliavle view. You can see whole Lindos from up there. The place is safe, there is security guide who does not allow you to go so close to the perem. You can buy your ticket until 19h and stay there up to 20h. The prices is 12€ / person.

Worth the walk
Steep climb to the top but worth it. Was worried about the site due to other reviews I had read but was glad I visited this site, some early nineteenth century rebuilds but not enough to spoil the site as a whole, can be a bit tricky underfoot so some caution needed, amazing views from the top. Worth the trek and €12 entry. Bar not open outside the gate so would advise take a drink. A must if you are in rhodes

Nice visit but...
Nice visit to lindos but too many tourists Acropolis visit is abused, traps a tourist 12 euros per person

Day visit to Lindos
After having read the tourist descriptions of Lindos, we had high expectations of an enjoyable day in Lindos. Our priority was to visit the Acropolis and it was there that we started our day. After climbing up halfway, we were somewhat taken aback by the cost of entrance to the site - 12 Euros - and for that, we were not given any plan or description of the site, just an entrance ticket. We are an elderly couple and anyone can see that we fit into the category of 'senior'. However, we were told that we could only get the normal discount for seniors, if we could prove our ages with our passports, which we did not have on our persons at the time (previously, we had spent several days in Rhodes city and for a cost of 10 Euros we were able to visit four important places, with no questions asked about proving our ages). Our disappointment on the Acropolis of Lindos was increased when we reach the site. It's true, the views from the top are wonderful (but they can be experienced from lower down), but the reconstruction of the site was of poor quality and certainly the site was not worth the entrance fee. In the town, we had to buy a drink in order to visit the Captian's House, because it's in a cafe. On the other hand, entrance to the Church of Our Lady of Lindos is free and the frescoes are impressive. This visit provided us with some compensation for what was otherwise a disappointing day - we would have been better off spending another day in Rhodes city, which we thoroughly enjoyed.

To do!
What happiness after 300 steps! Beautiful view! Going in the morning. Buses go there from hotels and go around the island.

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour: Lindos Acropolis and Village: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rhodes.
How much does Private Tour: Lindos Acropolis and Village cost?
+
Prices start at $573 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rhodes usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Tour: Lindos Acropolis and Village take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rhodes is not rushed.
Is Private Tour: Lindos Acropolis and Village worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rhodes, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour: Lindos Acropolis and Village?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Tour: Lindos Acropolis and Village suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Lindos Acropolis and Village?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rhodes can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rhodes and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour: Lindos Acropolis and Village start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rhodes within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rhodes?
+
On Outty we rank every Rhodes experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Makarounas Fishing Boat Trip with swimming stop and BBQ on board, Athens cruise: Agistri, Moni/Metopi, Aegina with lunch & drinks, Rhodes Sea Kayaking Tour – The Pirates Route. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rhodes?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rhodes?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
