Pro tips to help you make a pick

Visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid heat and crowds, as the climb and exposed summit can become demanding during midday hours.

Wear sturdy shoes with good grip, since the path to the Acropolis and the surfaces at the top are uneven, polished smooth in places, and can be slippery.

Allow at least one to two hours for the site, which gives enough time to explore the main ruins, read interpretive panels or use an audio guide, and enjoy the views without rushing.

Bring water and sun protection, especially in summer, as there is very little shade once you begin the ascent and at the summit.

If visiting with children, plan short breaks and keep them close to the edges and steep drops, as the site is open and largely unfenced in many areas.

About Acropolis of Lindos

The Acropolis of Lindos stands out on Rhodes for the way multiple eras converge on a single hilltop. Ancient sanctuaries, medieval fortifications, and sweeping coastal views come together in one compact site, making it an essential stop for understanding how religion, defense, and geography shaped the island’s history.

Did you know?

The Acropolis of Lindos sits 116 meters above sea level, offering some of the most dramatic views on Rhodes.

The Temple of Athena Lindia was built around 300 BC, replacing even older shrines on the same sacred site.

A 14th-century Crusader castle, built by the Knights of St. John, crowns the acropolis and incorporates earlier Byzantine fortifications.

The ancient theater of Lindos, carved into the rock, once seated up to 1,800 people for festivals and city events.

Plan your visit

Main entrance (Propylaea Gate)

Located at the top of the stone stairway that begins in Lindos village, the main entrance is marked by the ancient Propylaea gateway. To reach it, follow the signposted path from the main square through winding alleys and up approximately 250 steps. This entrance is not wheelchair accessible and involves a steep climb with uneven surfaces and no handrails. Donkey rides are available for part of the ascent, but all visitors must walk the final section to the ticket booth and gate.
