Lindos Acropolis


Not exactly the same as the famous Acropolis in Athens, but still one of the most beautiful ancient sites in Rhodes. The stories from the Lindos Acropolis go back as far as the ancient Trojan War. Above the village there is the citadel with the famous temple of Athena Lindia.  It is a natural fortification that was used by the ancient Greeks and by the Romans, Byzantines, Knights of St. John, and Ottomans later on. The temple dedicated to the goddess Athena is estimated to have been constructed during the 9th century BC. The Lindos Acropolis is absolutely as must see if you love Greek history.
