Lindos holidays

Holidays in Lindos, one of the most charming and traditional resorts on the islands of Rhodes, are ideal for visitors of all kinds...

The splendour of Lindos is undeniable: pines and palms dot the hill onto which sugar-cube buildings have been sprinkled between the swathes of turquoise water below and the cream-coloured stone of the acropolis. It's a place where donkeys clip-clop along jasmine-scented backstreets, where tempting cafes lure people into cool corners, and where unforgettable holiday memories are made. However, Lindos is also steep in places, so those with mobility issues (including families needing pushchairs) might struggle with the many village steps.

There are a number of sensational beaches in the bays below the village; it should not take more than 10 minutes to walk from your hotel and feel warm sand between your toes. The main beach is a long stretch with shallow seas, while Pallas is smaller but equally well equipped with cafes and water sports. St Paul's Bay is on the other side of Lindos and offers a spectacular, sandy-pebbly beach.

Lindos has much to offer to those interested in Greek tradition and customs, though visitors can also enjoy lively nights of music and dance at bars and even a couple of nightclubs. This terrific mix of attractions makes package holidays to Lindos a real draw for couples, families and groups.

Hotels here mostly offer accommodation on a self-catering basis, so there are plenty of shops within Lindos where you can buy kitchen essentials. But with mouth-watering, and good value, menus greeting you at every turn in Lindos, you need not worry too much about cooking unless you prefer to make your own food.
