ideal for swimming and diving and the importance
of the archeological site, reveal the secrets for moments

in the narrow streets with
the spectacular Lindian Houses,
and enjoy a drink.

Travelers with physical disabilities may not be able
to climb the Lindos Acropolis.

BARS TO RELAX/CHILL OUT
Even many of the livelier music bars have quieter
outside terraces but some of the nicer bars to
just relax and take in the views are

APOLLO BAR
(next to the main church of Lindos on the steps to Acropolis).
Friendly, family run bar that opens way into the early hours.

CAPTAINS HOUSE
(walk past Museum Bar and follow signs for the Acropolis).
This is a traditional Lindian Captains House with the main bar situated
in the front courtyard. Very atmospheric and a good place for pre dinner drinks.

RAINBIRD BAR
(off to the left on the road to the small/pallas beach).
Boasts the best views in Lindos and a nice place
to rest for a beer after your walk up from the beach.

LINDOS BY NIGHT
(down the road from
Courtyard Bar).
The inside bar of
LindosBy Night can get
quite lively but for
a relaxing night with views
over the village
and Acropolis, take a seat in
one of the pretty
garden terraces.

YANNIS BAR
(on a corner as you turn from the main street towards Lindos Reception).
Situated on a very busy corner and one of the
best places in Lindos if you enjoy a bit of people watching.

a few as you walk down from Lindos
