Description

The Acropolis of Lindos is an archaeological site built atop a steep rock 116 metres high, towering over the traditional settlement of Lindos on Rhodes. As Lindos has been continuously inhabited through the centuries, the site has a rich history and has yielded archaeological finds from the Archaic period and later, as well as building activity extending to the era of the Knights (14th–16th centuries). This rich history, combined with the site's uniquely beautiful natural view, makes the Acropolis of Lindos one of the most popular archaeological sites in Greece, ranking third in visitor numbers.
