5. Lindos Beach

Also known as Pallas, Lindos is a place in Rhodes where the sea merges in perfect harmony with the Greek islands’ fascinating history. You’ll be able to relax on the charming beach while admiring a temple built back in the 4th century B.C., within walking distance. If you’re planning to enjoy a lazy afternoon, this is your chance to sunbathe, swim in the warm waters, or even rent a canoe or a rowboat.

Eager to explore more of this area? The picturesque medieval village nearby, also called Lindos, will astound you with its cobbled streets and whitewashed houses shining in the sun. Cars are not allowed on the narrow streets, but you’ll certainly be happy to admire the local donkeys strolling all around. Try the delicious local cuisine and buy some cute souvenirs while taking a pleasant walk.

Be brave and try to discover the unnamed side streets. Yes, you might get lost, but locals are extremely nice and they will be happy to guide you. There are several houses in the village that were previously owned by the Captains, built around the 1400s, and worth visiting.
