Lindos is een pittoresk dorpje gelegen op het eiland Rhodos in Griekenland. Lindos staat bekend om zijn landschappelijke schoonheid en historische betekenis en beschikt over witgekalkte huizen, smalle straatjes en prachtige stranden. Het dorp wordt gedomineerd door de oude Akropolis van Lindos, die bovenop een steile heuvel ligt en een prachtig uitzicht op de omgeving biedt. De Akropolis herbergt belangrijke archeologische ruïnes, waaronder een tempel uit de 4e eeuw voor Christus gewijd aan de godin Athena. Lindos staat ook bekend om zijn bruisende nachtleven en lokale restaurants, waardoor het een populaire bestemming is voor toeristen die op zoek zijn naar zowel culturele geschiedenis als ontspanning aan zee.
In het pittoreske dorpje Kalathos, genesteld in het schilderachtige landschap van Griekenland, bevindt zich een unieke pottenbakkerswerkplaats die wordt beheerd door een lokale Griekse familie. Deze charmante werkplaats staat bekend om zijn traditionele technieken voor het maken van aardewerk, waar bezoekers getuige kunnen zijn van de bekwame ambachtslieden die prachtige keramische stukken vormgeven en decoreren die het rijke culturele erfgoed van Griekenland weerspiegelen. Naast de aardewerkervaring nodigt de familie gasten van harte uit om hun zelfgemaakte producten te proeven, waaronder de rijke, gouden honing geproduceerd uit de lokale flora en de robuuste, smaakvolle olijfolie geoogst uit hun eigen bosjes. Deze heerlijke combinatie van kunst, vakmanschap en lokale gastronomie biedt een authentieke smaak van de Griekse cultuur en gastvrijheid.
De Griekse Taverna Kostas en Eleni, gelegen in de charmante baai van Haraki Village, belichaamt een door een familie gerund juweeltje waar Kostas, Eleni en hun volwassen kinderen gasten hartelijk verwelkomen. Dit schilderachtige eetcafé staat bekend om het serveren van uitzonderlijk heerlijke Griekse gerechten en verse zeevruchten en is een favoriet onder zowel de lokale bevolking als toeristen. De populariteit is een bewijs van de levendige sfeer en authentieke gerechten, waardoor het een bestemming is die je absoluut moet bezoeken voor iedereen die echte Griekse gastvrijheid en culinaire hoogstandjes wil ervaren.
De oude binnenstad van Rhodos, die op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO staat, is een van de best bewaarde middeleeuwse steden van Europa. Het wordt omgeven door indrukwekkende versterkte muren en is een mozaïek van verschillende historische perioden met zijn smalle geplaveide straatjes, oude gebouwen en grootse architectuur. De stad vertoont een mix van gotische en Ottomaanse invloeden, duidelijk zichtbaar in de kastelen, moskeeën, traditionele fonteinen en het Paleis van de Grootmeester. Dit historische juweeltje biedt een uniek kijkje in het verleden, met een levendige sfeer verrijkt door winkels, cafés en lokale cultuur, waardoor het een boeiende bestemming voor bezoekers is.
Geniet van wat vrije tijd in de middeleeuwse stad Rhodos om te wandelen langs geplaveide straatjes, bewonder de goed bewaarde middeleeuwse architectuur, blader door lokale winkels of geniet van een ontspannen koffie omgeven door geschiedenis.

Wouldn’t do this trip again. As we are a group from a cruise we ended up not seeing most of the items listed as the driver, not a guide, wanted to take us to a winery and restaurant an hour each way out of the way up a mountain vs seeing the island. We basically paid $1900 for a driver up to the acropolis and then lunch at his friend’s restaurant. He dropped us off at old town bc that’s where the boat was and we did our own tours.
We’re sorry to hear the tour didn’t quite meet your expectations! Let’s go through your points one by one: 1. According to our GPS logs (yes, we do check!), the tour itinerary and timings were followed exactly as advertised. 2. Nikos has 17 years of guiding experience, hundreds of cruise passengers each season, and more glowing reviews than a Hollywood star. 3. Lindos is about a one-hour drive from Rhodes Town. Unless we suddenly acquire a helicopter fleet (working on it 😅), that’s simply the fastest way. Lindos is a highlight and clearly mentioned in the itinerary. 4. Nikos kindly took you to a spot where locals eat. Fun fact: Greeks are famously picky about food, so if you see Greeks eating there—you’ve struck gold. Sorry you didn’t enjoy this thoughtful gesture. 5. Free time in the Old Town was indeed provided. If that wasn’t your cup of tea, a quick word with the guide could have helped—he’s great, but mind-reading isn’t in his skill set just yet. When booking tours with Viator, we recommend setting expectations based on the actual itinerary (rather than wishful thinking 😉). If you’d like any customizations, please share them with us in advance or directly with your guide during the tour. Safe and happy travels!
This was a great tour! Our bus was right on time in picking us up from the port. Our tour guide and driver were so friendly. We enjoyed the day very much and would recommed it over an excuersion offered by the cruiseline. It was private, comfortable and very enjoyable.
Thank you so much for your kind words and positive review. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your tour, the punctuality of our service, and our friendly staff. It was a pleasure hosting your private, comfortable journey and we look forward to welcoming you back on your next Mediterranean cruise!
This was by far the worst of the 7 tours we booked with Viator. The operator started emailing us while in transit to Greece requiring way more money due to influx of Americans and gas prices. We paid for this tour months ago. Somehow, they cancelled our trip thru TA and booked thru their own company with upped charges. Driver was nice, but left us at the foothills of Lindos where we got lost and wandered for over an hour. Finally contacted his offices to have them get him to come find us at a restaurant on top of a hill. He finally came. It was so hot. None of our other tours dumped us and were readily available to ensure we knew how and where to meet them. He was a nice guy - but gave my daughter and I a big scare. We went to a winery where we were greeted and then the man went to greet a larger group of people and left us standing, so we told the driver to take us back to the ship. Two terrible stops, no fun or good memories of Rhodes. Total rip off!!
Are you certain you've posted your review to the correct business? First, this tour operates in Rhodes, which is entirely distinct from the Cyclades. Indeed, Lindos is situated on the island of Rhodes. However, if you have actually visited Lindos, you'd know that there are no restaurants atop the hill, there is the Acropolis of Lindos. This is primarily due to the fact that all the area atop is an archaeological zone. Consequently, all shops and restaurants are situated downhill, with not a single one existing at the top. You also mention that the operator cancelled your trip, originally booked through TripAdvisor, only to rebook it through their own company with increased charges. This operator must possess some kind of magic to execute such a feat! I've worked in this industry for many years, yet I am still unaware of any method that allows any supplier to book customers through their own company with higher charges, after cancelling with TripAdvisor. If we possessed such knowledge, w'd probably be wealthy and retired by now.:-) LOL For the record, we are a TripAdvisor supplier and do not have access to guest credit cards. All billing and refunds are handled by TripAdvisor, we merely provide the services. Furthermore, we don't have access to guests' email addresses, as all correspondence is conducted via Viator's messaging system. TripAdvisor supervises these processes. While we can cancel bookings in the event of unforeseen circumstances, there's no way for us to rebook them at an increased rate, or even at the same rate. Just to note, gas prices in Greece have remained steady for nearly a year, and we haven't observed an influx of American visitors yet. Best regards from sunny Rhodes!
We had an amazing time on our tour with Alexis! We were a larger group of 7, but Alexis was able to keep us all entertained and had a vast amount of information about everywhere we stopped. The transportation was spacious and comfortable. There are too many highlights to mention, but Lindos and the winery were particularly enjoyable. We had a relatively short amount of time in Rhodes during our cruise stop, but Alexis gave us plenty of time at each stop on the tour and we did not feel rushed. Our cruise visited many different islands in Greece, but Alexis made our stop in Rhodes one of the most memorable!
Thank you very much for your time and review. It was such a pleasure for us to work with you. Alexis says hello sending best regards to you. You are most welcome to Rhodes in particular and Greece in general
Had an excellent day with Alexis our tour guide. Included visit to Lindos and the Acropolis, Lunch looking over Monolithos Castle, Superb wine Tasting in Emponas and finishing with visit to the 7 springs including a walk through the tunnel to apparently cleanse our sins. The places visited were perfect for us and Alexis was very knowledgeable about Rhodes as well as many other subjects we discussed during our time together.
Thank you so much, Laura. It was a pleasure to work with you. Alexis says hello and sends his best wishes to you!
Ma Ja and driver did an excellent job! They provided a perfect itinerary and made it easy to stay longer in one area and less in another. Ma Ja was pleasant, knowledgeable, and spoke perfect English. Great communication thru WhatsApp. Highly recommend!
Thank you Miguel. Maya says hello and sends her best wishes to you.
The journey to Greece was our dream for a long time and finally it came true. This October we were in Rhodes during 7 days. For 1 of them we booked the private tour with Telia tours from Viator. It was very wise decision. For the mentioned day with our excellent guide Dimitra we learned, visited and enjoyed more than for the rest 6 days in Rhodes. Highlight of our tour was the visit to Embona and local wine tasting. All in all we had absolutely fabulous tour.
Thank you very much. It was a pleasure to work with you
We purchased the tour through TripAdvisor (Viator) We did the Private Full Rhodes Island tour including wine tasting in early November 2021 from the Norwegian Jade. Visited Kritinia, Monolithos , Embonas,Lindos, 7 Springs, had a traditional lunch, loved Embonas wines, my husband purchased a box of their best red. Giorgos took good care of us, he is an excellent guide, his English and knowledge of Rhodes were both outstanding, saying nothing of his sense of humor. Take this tour and enjoy!
Thank you for your time and kind words. It was a pleasure to work with you
Alexis our tour guide was awesome: A great driver, entertaining, humorous, and so personable. A wealth of information and obviously passionate about his job and lovely country. The castles and acropolis were breathtaking. Wine tasting with Sula was quite a treat. Who knew the Greeks had so many locally made wines. Opa!! Highly recommend this tour!!
Thank you for your time and kind words. It was a pleasure to work with you. We look forward to your next visit
I have to say our shore excursion with Dimitra was fantastic!! Very knowledgeable, highly professional and at the same time she we was very friendly positive and easy to deal with. Lindos is always busy with a lot of cruise tour groups but Dimitra knew the right time and way to avoid crowds. But the highlight of our Rhodes tour was not even Lindos, that was worth seeing, no doubt but the old Greek house of grandmother Sabika was a real gem. As well we loved Embona winery tour and wine tasting. Booking this full island tour we were concerned about return to the ship on time, but Dimitra ans Savas, our driver brought us back half an hour in advance but they never rushed Ignore overpriced cruise excursions and book this tour for the half price, small group, and all the 'must sees' covered.
Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure to work with you.
