Lindos attractions
Visit the ruins of the Acropolis and the (still unfinished as of mid-2009) reconstructed temple of Lindian Athena. Entrance fee to the Acropolis itself is €6, but you do have a nice view from there. It's open till 6:40PM from March to December. There is also the remains of an Ancient Amphitheatre carved into the slope of the Acropolis. If you wish to avoid the tiring climb you can hire a donkey at the entrance of the town.
A road leads high up to the acropolis The first ruins you will encounter are the medieval walls. In the early 14th century the Crusaders built fortifications were upon the remains of earlier defenses, both Byzantine and more ancient. There are a few of towers along the medieval walls, they follow the natural contours of the high ground.
You can visit Kleoboulous's tomb, a small stone structure at the tip of the bay.
You can also see St Paul's Bay where the saint supposedly crashed on the island and brought Christianity with him.
And of course, the town itself is worth sightseeing, with its traditional old Greek architecture. Some houses, known as "Captain's Houses", are supposedly extra beautiful - if you can find them (and enter them). There are also old churches spread around, there is a tour going around them - otherwise most of them are closed (and hard to find).
