Lindos/Rhodes

One of the three ancient cities of Rhodes, Lindos is positioned about half way down the east side of Rhodes and is extremely popular with the tourists so get there early. The acropolis is positioned on a rocky hill overlooking the old town and two good harbours.

We walked there for our first visit, Here's the view from Marmari mountain.

Luckily we had only planned to look at the old town, as the Acropolis was closed by a strike.

The entrance is up a steep staircase

Being an ally of Athens a temple to Athena is no surprise. (The hill on the right is Marmari)

To help me remember here's a description of the fortifications

A view from the seaward side, sharp eyed observers will see the cranes on the site for reconstruction work and also fat tourists being transported by mule up to the entrance staircase.

A great place to visit, but try and avoid the crowds.
