MUST SEE Lindos, Greece. The Gem of Rhodes Island. Where to go in Rhodes 🇬🇷
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2024
- Today we’re exploring the amazing town of Lindos which is found on the island of Rhodes (Rodos) in Greece!
We start things all the way at the top of the Acropolis which overlooks the entire town and beaches. The Acropolis includes an ancient temple as well as a castle.
Once we’re back down the hill we explore the town a bit, including the busy and not so busy streets and do a bit of shopping.
After this we head over to one of the beaches in town, this is called St. Paul’s Bay Beach. We grab some lunch but don’t stay to swim or sunbath. We do however, fly the drone to get a better look.
Lastly we head to another beach, the main one in the town, but to the smaller side (to the right). Here the water is calm and clear and sandy.
ABOUT LINDOS
Lindos is a town on the Greek island of Rhodes. It’s known for its clifftop acropolis, which features monumental 4th-century gates and reliefs from about 280 B.C. The Temple of Athena Lindia sits above an earlier temple. On the site’s lower level is the 14th-century Castle of the Knights of St. John. Among the town’s whitewashed buildings, the Virgin Mary of Lindos Church has 15th-century frescoes.
ABOUT RHODES
Rhodes, the largest of Greece’s Dodecanese islands, is known for its beach resorts, ancient ruins and remnants of its occupation by the Knights of St. John during the Crusades. The city of Rhodes has an Old Town featuring the medieval Street of the Knights and the castlelike Palace of the Grand Masters. Captured by the Ottomans and then held by the Italians, the palace is now a history museum.

I love Greece and the People there -
Always in my heart
Lindos is truly magical have been visiting for past 27 years and it never disappoints. Great review of my piece of heaven.
Greece is a very beautiful country I love it.

Stayed in Lindos many times, usually at Greek Easter lovely place, we now stay regularly in Pefkos a few miles south, beautiful island, we have holidayed there for 20 years +, great video which covers the delights of Lindos.
Pefkos.. never heard of it but of course we'll be sure to look it up 😃 - Trevor
The thumbnail should be "Greece is *delightful!* , you get why 😜
Also I live in Greece and 've been in lindos !! I am glad you like my country so much 🤗
We will consult with you on the next thumbnail haha.. That's a good one. What a spot this Lindos is! - Trevor
Toured Lindos on a bus trip October 2023… It was an overcast day… Delighted to see your beautiful footage in the sunshine and warm weather!
Wow! Thank you so much for showing us this beautiful island. I love how you combine the music with the scenery as well. Great video guys!!
Thanks SL. It's a lot of fun matching up the music with the videos. (during editing) - Trevor
i go there every year. its amazing
looks an amazing place to explore.
beautiful drone shots and music guys!! watching this on a cold, rainy evening in southern california.....such welcome sights....along with your smiling faces as always!! cheers!!
Glad we could warm you up a little Taki. Lindos is quite the place... we almost didn't make the journey here but we're so glad we did 😃- Trevor
Great video. Pure escapsm during lockdown which is keeping me sane. Lindos has long been on my list. It has just moved up a few places.Thanks guys.
Greece is stunning
I watched it with pleasure, beautiful place to visit in future -)
Great video guy's.. there are 4 beaches in Lindos (pronounced Lin doss) the big beach, Pallas beach (the chilled one) and two in St Paul's Bay.. the little beach (where you had lunch) and St Paul's beach (opposite) which is my favourite..
Rhodes is the most recent "addition" to the Greek state! Was united with Greece in 1947. 😊
Oh really? We didn't know that about the island - Trevor
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodecanese?wprov=sfla1
Yeah it was a gift from Turkey to Greece. What a mistake
@@escapeboss Turkey had conquered the island. And Musolini seized it from Turkey in 1912. During the war(WW2) it was under Italian rule. After the World War it was given back to the Greeks from the allies. If you see all ancient cities they are all Greek!
GAh! With each video, I'm needing to add more and more to our Greece trip this summer! You guys are awesome! Thank you
haha sorry about that 😉I don't think you can make a bad decision on where to go honestly. - Anna
Thank you for putting together a vlog for Lindos !
Thank you for watching Jev! 😃- Trevor
Just found your channel,and I just want to say what a brilliant job you've done , Rhodes is a very special place as it never fails to surprise you,great job
Thank you thank you thank you. I could wander the streets of Lindos forever. If I had the chance! The jasmine. The shops with ancient art replicas. That salad looks wonderful. Good gosh the music and the views at 7:00! I cannot wait for your next video. My absolute favorite thing on Rhodes is riding around the island!
It seems like anyone who has been to Lindos has such great memories of it. I can see why Steve. There's nothing like it 😃We're looking forward to our road trip - Anna
Apostle Pavlos's beach it is perfect. And the water is clear blue. The Apostle Pavlos's church it is my favorite place. Romantic.
I love Greece infact this year is the 3 or 4th year. I’ve went in a row we are going to lindos
Thank you for showing the beauty from my place with such a nice video ❤️ ❤️❤️ Take care and hope you come again soon
Wow you live there? Lindos is such a magical spot. We know we'll be back there again some day - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers Yes we live here ! keep doing great videos ! Lots of love from a very sunny Lindos 💗 🇬🇷💗
Hello from Melbourne Australia love your your little adventures in greece
Australia! We really want to get there at some point.. especially your city of Melbourne. We hear such great things Margaret 😃- Trevor
We ❤️ Lindos
Agree with you, Lindos is a must if you are travelling to Rhodes, nice video, thank you for the memories :)
Ahh it was nice to reminisce about Lindos through your video 🙂 The beaches there really are so lovely! It's amazing being able to wade in the sea and then just look up to see the acropolis!
There's absolutely nothing like it is there? This will easily go down as one of the most stunning and charming places we've ever been to 😃- Anna
Have been to Lindos twice with a 15 year gap inbetween, but like you said, Lindos steals your heart and I can honestly say it's one of my favourite places in the world. I learnt to snorkel in St Pauls Bay when I went the first time, and second time around in 2012, I was so pleased to see that despite a few subtle changes, (ie more people visiting) the place itself hadn't changed massively and even certain bars and eateries were still there. One of my favourite things to do was to feed the fishes in the shallows of the beach, little bits of bread. They swim around you and its just lovely. The main Lindos Village (the bit with all the traditional buildings) is a protected site so the only developments and expansion have been in the outer regions at the top of the hill above. It's a beautiful charming place. If you'd stayed there longer, I would have said visit the Gelato shop as it does THE BEST gelato ever! Happy holidays!
Sharon as you know this place is an absolute treasure. We travel a lot and we don't come across places like this very often. We already want to go back 😍- Anna
So nice, wish I was there right now. Thank you guys
Come on over and join us Ted. Lost of room on the beach 😉- Trevor
Hello to two of my favorite people!💜
Hello Karin 🤗😊Hope you enjoyed this one. Lindos is so great - Anna
What is that cool music in the video from appr. 6:00 to 9:00 ?
Watching your Rhodes videos since we will be there for two weeks in June. Staying in Lindos for three nights then working our way up the eastern coast and ending in the old town. As always, great video you two! Glad your loving Thailand.
You're going to luv Rhodes! - Anna
I was there. Beautiful and wondrous. The walk up there was steep. There is a huge relief of an ancient Greek ship carved in the rock upon the acropolis where the massive columns are. Lindos is definitely a must-see. Dod you guys see Thasos? Thanks for sharing this.
So amazing indeed. We did not go to Thasos no - Anna
Great video 🌻
Going to Rhodes next week, cant wait to explore and travel again.
Lovely spot!
You would love it here 😃
Seems fantastic
Next summer you should try the Northern Sporades (Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonnisos) and the Ionian Islands (Kerkira-Corfu, Kefallonia, Zakynthos, Ithaca)
We loved Skiathos and Skopelos - were there summer of 2021. They should go!
If You visit .... Come very early or late in the day. Otherwise it's extremely crowded. That said it's a great attraction and worth visiting.
I livin in brazil and love your channel.
Caio thank you. We loved your country! Hope you're liking the Greek Series now - Trevor
I’m from lindos
wonderful vedio thx sooo much
I love Greece island
Lovely place. Glad your enjoying. Very hot hot.
👏👏👏👏 Excellent video! Greetings from Rhodes island in Greece🇬🇷
We adore your island Maria 😃- Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Love all your videos, your drone views are spectacular!!! Next summer consider a visit to the Ionian Islands, they are so different from the Aegean ones! Another trip I recommend you is to travel around the Peloponnese peninsula!
Be safe! Love, Vana.
Vana we'll be sure to look that location up. Thanks for watching 🤗- Trevor
what a great surprise. i know you just from the lock down covid videos from El Nino (every single video). Today i was searching for a Rhodes vlog and the first hit was you :) lovely. will check all you Rhodes vlog. hope to go there next month ...
We should have about 3-4 of them to check out. Hope you like them! 😃- Trevor
Lovely video
Great video! Nice editing :)
Thanks! 😊
Nice video 😊🤙🏽
I fell in love with Lindos way back during the summer of 1976, and to be quite honest, all these years later, I’d be hard pressed to list a nicer seaside village in all the Mediterranean region.
Sometimes I can’t decide whether I like Crete more...or Rhodes, they are both fantastic islands and uniquely spectacular. However, IF I had to choose a favourite...it would be Rhodes.
Historic Chania (Crete) is truly lovely...but the old medieval character of Rhodes city must take first prize 👍
Plus, Lindos is one of only a few places in Europe where mid-winter daytime temps are consistantly above 16°C...so, it’s a very mild location for off-season travel and as a winter traveller hangout spot....albeit rather quite though, of course.
A wonderful, ambient, charming, village...only rivalled perhaps by Symi and Hydra.
Great comment... we've been to Symi but not Hydra. Would love to go there as well. I think we'd also give the edge to Rhodes vs Crete. It has a little more of what we're into. It also feels a little more charming 😃- Trevor
Acropolis of Lindos closed on Tuesday.
I want go to rodes in october
You didn't swim though? The water is warm in Greece.
What’s the title of the song in this video?
Nice to see that you like our country so much. Makes me feel warm inside.
I know its probably to late (you are already home right?) but if you come again, go to Rethimnon (better then Chania) and Balos and Elafonisi in Crete. And for smaller islands, MILOS (Imo the best island, so diverse, you'll see). If don't come again, just google them so can see what you are missing :-P
Have fun.
Andy we will look all those places up. We're not home, but not in Greece at the moment. We travel half the year give or take. We know we'll be back in Greece every year from here on out. It's the best! 🤗- Anna
24NOV is winter, athens is cold today, prepare warm clothes for tomorrow
Σιγά το κρύο ρε συ.. 15 βαθμούς έχουμε 😂
με τα κοντομανικα θα την πατησουν
@@kostas3991 Οκτώβρη αρχες είναι το βιντεο το λενε καπου στα σχολια
nice videos guys....i live in Rhodes island......dont vlog it in winter......hehehe
haha okay. How cold does it get in Winter btw? - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers the lowest can be 5 degree in December January early morning time
Great video guys! Was this filmed in November please? It looks like from summer however if weather is that good in November I could travel. Please let me know. Thanks
It was filmed last month. But Rhodes in general seems to stay a lot warmer than other Greek islands - Trevor
I went in October a few years back and it was still between 26-32 degrees centigrade. Perfect.
You have to check Prasonisi beach
We will definitely look that place up. - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellersand Kalithea beach, I think is the best
I would never leave the beaches!!
It was so hard to choose which one to go to. There's 3 of them in total and an ancient acropolis looming over every one 😍- Anna
Hey I was wondering, when did you film those videos? because it is pretty cold rn
This was filmed about a month or so ago. Hope you're enjoying the video - Trevor
I would love to see you visit skiathos for the most stunning sandy beaches in greece. Tiny island with 60 sandy beaches. All green and forested and try the pelion on mainland. More green than england .Legend has it thats where the Greek Gods go for holidays
Jane we'll have to look that place up. It sounds like our type of place. More green than England? wow - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers Pelion is very green, many little waterfalls and picturesque villages and impressive beaches. You' ll love it. It was the mythical estate of Centaurus and the place Jason had grown up before his travels with the Argonauts.
If you're looking for beaches come visit Elafonisos. A little hard to reach but perfect to combine with a visit to Monemvasia. We live close by and the area is not well known with international tourists.. But definitely worth seeing!
Sea in main beach can be polluted ,St. Paul's Bay cleaner
My friend who made a hostel into her home right were they are staying. Actually she worked charging tourist for those chairs and umbrella 🌂 they sitting on. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don't go to Lindos in the main tourist season, you will be disappointed . Overcrowded, choked with fumes from cars and coaches....and that was over 35 years ago. Goodness knows what it's like now.
MUST SEE???
You're not far from Tilos. I don't know if you've been there but it is a pretty little place. A bit void of civilization though.
You're not the first person to tell us that. We need to clearly look more into Tilos - Anna
is this in november?
We filmed this last month Phillip. Though we heard Rhodes was quite warm in early November ✌️- Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers For October it's still pretty amazing...thanks for answering
Delightful Travellers
Being the most east of the Greek Islands and close to the Asia Minor region...Rhodes stays a bit warmer, drier, and sunny...longer than anywhere else in Greece, including Crete, which is a little further south.
Usually Rhodes is decent in November with daytime temps around 21-23°C and still quite a lot of sunny days,
IF you want a milder (20°C) winter season on the Mediterranean one has to be in Tel Aviv.
It’s the warmest location.
Humus in Lindos? Why? Surely you could've opted for one of the many local spreads, all of which are tastier beyond comparison, no question there.
There wasn't a lot of options at that little place. Plus we luv hummus. - Anna
The unwritten rule is that beach chairs are free if you order a drink. So get your coffees at the beach and never pay for an umbrella again! :)
Love that rule X! - Trevor
12 euros only , thats very cheap
The Greeks have lost a lot of income through Covid and it costs money to keep the Temple ruins clean so I'm not surprised they charge
