Lindos, Rhodes

Pefkos to Lindos

Lindos, to the north of the peninsula, is easily reached using the regular coach service from Pefkos. The journey lasts less than 15 minutes. When you're dropped off outside Lindos, the most notable feature is the magnificent acropolis built into the top of the massive rock around which the town of Lindos was built. Walk downhill for 5 minutes and you reach the main square, with views out to the sea. This is as far as the taxi service can take you. The streets of Lindos were designed with horses in mind, with maybe a small cart. They are narrow and bustling with life. The local taxis take the form of donkeys.

Streets of Lindos

Here's a short video of Genie and I getting lost trying to find our way up to the acropolis, which is actually very well sign-posted but easily missed when you're both viewing the world through a camera. I have much more footage of these streets and will probably be making Streets of Lindos follow-up movies, maybe even including a few donkeys, but I do like this rough-and-ready edit as it gives a good idea of the light and shade in the streets.
