Lindos RHODES, GREECE

On the banks of the azure-blue sea, lies the charming village of Lindos. Along the old, narrow streets you will find quaint little shops as well as cafĂŠs and tavernas where you can enjoy amazing Greek specialities like moussaka, souvlaki and charcoalgrilled fish with a glass of delicious Greek wine amongst the chatter and laughter of the locals. Towering over Lindos is the

old fortress. Now an archaeological site, this hillside fortification has been held

by Greeks, Romans, Ottomans and other great empires throughout history. This fascinating site can be explored either at your own leisure or through guided tours.

Near Lindos you’ll also find plenty of coastline with beautiful white, sandy beaches and sky-blue water. Pallas Beach

to the north of the village is a popular seaside-place for locals and visitors alike, however, for a truly relaxing escape from the rest of the world, head to St Paul’s Bay immediately south of the village for a small cove that is both peaceful and picturesque.

ADD TO YOUR STAY

DAY TRIP TO SYMI from £40 per person

After being picked-up from your hotel, you will be met at Mandraki Harbour by a professional escort to set sail at 9:00am. The boat trip takes approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes to arrive in Symi, one of the most unspoiled Greek Islands. Upon arrival, you will have time at leisure (approximately 3 hours) to explore the quaint shops in search of natural sea sponges and cooking spices, or have a fresh fish lunch (not included). After lunch the boat sets sail for Panormitis, where there is plenty of time to see the Monastery of St. Michael, swim and sunbathe before returning to your hotel in Rhodes.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

- Return transfers from the hotel to the harbour - Return boat trip from Rhodes to Symi Duration: 9 hours

Sightseeing in Symi Symi harbour: Katarinettes on the harbour front is where the Germans signed the surrender of the Dodecanese at the end of World War II. A little further along towards the bridge there is a replica of the Lindos ship with a war memorial.

The Nautical Museum is at the back of the Town Square and is easily identifiable by the canons outside. Open Tuesday to Sunday from 10.00 to 14.00.

The Town Square is one of the venues for the Symi Festival. St. John’s Church has an interesting burial ground as well as a fine, recently restored pebble courtyard which is also a festival venue, as is the nearby Petrides School. The Kataratkis, a steep footpath at the back of the harbour towards the Castle and Chorio, was the ancient road connecting the village with the harbour before the Kali Strata was built in the 19th century.

The Kali Strata starts at the back of the square in the south-western corner of the harbour and is about 350 steps up to Chorio, with interesting 19th century mansions lining the way.

Sightseeing in Chorio, the ‘village’ area: The Kali Strata opens into Syllogos Square (also a festival venue), from the back of which a road leads round behind the Castle and to Lemonitsa Church. There are spectacular views over the harbour and this route eventually connects up with the top of the Kataraktis, the original staircase connecting Yialos to Chorio.

The Castle was rebuilt by the Knights of St. John in the early 15th century on the site of a much older fortification. It survived in reasonable condition until World War II when it was used as an Axis munitions store. This was blown up, destroying the Castle and the Church of the Assumption which was within its walls. Parts of the walls remain and there is a plaque visible, commemorating Filibert de Niallac, the Knight’s French Grand Master.

Continuing further along the Kali Strata, the Old Pharmacy has been restored and houses an interesting collection of French medicine jars and other paraphernalia. Follow the signposts to the Museum which is further up, in Old Chorio.

It is open Tuesday to Sunday, from 10.00 to 14.00, and contains many interesting artefacts.

Chatziagapitos House, a restored 18th century mansion is nearby and is open during museum hours.

There are many old churches and monasteries to be seen. Some of the most accessible sights are described here: The church of Constantinos and Eleni on the southern slopes of the Vigla along the Panormitis road has gardens, terraces and a well. The monastery of the Archangel Michael at Roukouniotis was built by the knights of St. John in the 14th century on the ruins of an important 5th century monastery, which in turn was built on the remains of a pre-Christian temple. The monastery of Sotiris Megalos, shortly before the road descends to Panormitis, is very picturesque and has spectacular views. There is a sign-posted walk to an old vinery and the ruins of old wine presses.

The Monastery of the Archangel Michael at Panormitis, is the island’s most famous monastery.

The original church of St. Michael was built around 450 AD on the site of an ancient temple to Apollo.

It contains a splendid icon of the Archangel and two interesting museum sections. Overnight accommodation can be arranged. There are other churches and monasteries of interest which are best visited as part of an organised excursion or by boat as foot access is difficult, or in the case of Nimos, impossible.
