Lindos beaches
Lindos is one of the most picturesque villages in Rhodes. Here visitors will find a charming old town, the Acropolis fortress and two amazing beaches. Lindos has it all.
There are no hotels by the beach, they are located just outside the town. Our recommendation is the romantic Lindos Blu, which has spectacular sea views from the pool. The hotel spoils adult couples with the restaurant Five Senses art Kouzina and a wonderful spa with fitness centre.
Beaches in Lindos
Lindos has two very popular beaches, both within walking distance of the town. The largest beach is called Megali Paralia, which quite appropriately translates to ‘big beach’. The somewhat smaller Lindos Pallas beach is also very popular, and space is often more limited on it.
Both beaches have fine golden sand. The water is clear and shallow. It is possible to rent sun loungers and parasols at both beaches, but it is also possible to lie on the sand (especially on the large beach).
The walk down to the beach is quite steep, which is particularly hard on the return journey after a hot day at the beach.
Child-friendliness
The beaches have fine sand and shallow water, making them very child-friendly. However, during the high season the space to play is a bit limited.
Water sports
Sea kayaks, pedalos and boat trips. Just east of the small pier there are many rocky caves that are interesting to explore and snorkel at. They are marked on the map below.
Restaurants by the beach
There is a good selection of restaurants and cafés by the beaches in Lindos. Most are located behind the small beach of Lindos Pallas. From here there are great views of the beaches and the bay.
Lindos village
The wonderful village of Lindos is one of the prettiest villages in Rhodes and a very popular excursion destination. Lindos is filled with whitewashed houses, cobbled narrow streets, small squares and cosy little shops. Of course, there are also numerous restaurants and cafés.
Above Lindos is the Acropolis, a large fortress that has been expanded by the ancient Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Crusaders and Ottomans over the ages. The walk up there is tough on a hot day, but the views are outstanding and definitely worth the effort!

Both beaches can be seen north of the white city. East of the city is the fortress of Lindos Acropolis. The hotels are located a little to the northwest at the small town of Vlycha, which also has a nice beach.
