Lindos...
...traditional island architecture.
Lindos, a powerful maritime city in antiquity, is
considered today, together with the neighbouring
Kalathos, Vlicha, Pefki, Pylona and Lardos, one of the most attractive resorts of the island, a happy
mariage of the beauties of nature with its cultural heritage. Its houses, perched on the hillsides,
stand out in dazzling white against the blue background of sky and sea. A walk among its narrow paved streets
reveals the austere beauty of the traditional island architecture and winding alleys bring you
imperceptibly to the ancient acropolis, witness
to the troubled history of this place. From this high
vantage point, the sea spreads out before you to the grey line of the horizon.
The seashore round about, golden in the light of the sun,
completes the magic of the landscape. And when the sun sinks into the waters of the Aegean, nights of enchantment await you.
