Lindos stands as one of the most captivating historical destinations—not just in Greece, but globally. Layers of history reveal themselves here, where ancient Greek, Roman, and Byzantine influences merge with the medieval legacy of the Knights of St. John. A visit to Lindos feels like a journey through centuries of civilization. Beyond its rich past, the village enchants visitors with its breathtaking beauty. Take a leisurely walk through its charming maze of narrow lanes, adorned with blooming flowers, fruit trees, colorful tiles, and quaint fountains. The panoramic views of the twin harbors are nothing short of spectacular. For those interested, the Acropolis of Lindos awaits atop a 116-meter hill. Please note: reaching it requires climbing approximately 300 steps, and there is no elevator access. Guests who wish to explore the Acropolis will be guided, while others may choose to enjoy free time in the village for lunch, shopping, or simply soaking up the atmosphere.
Rhodes Old Town is one of the oldest medieval towns in Europe, a maze of kept ruins and cobbled lanes that was once a vibrant and glorious medieval city. It’s just a dream scene for someone who likes to take pictures! The Old Town of Rhodes is a very inspiring place. The medieval town of Rhodes belongs to the World Heritage and is under protection of UNESCO. It is considered one of the few best preserved medieval cities in Europe.
Mandraki Harbour has been in use since ancient times and was formerly the military port of Rhodes; it was protected from attack by gigantic chains across its narrow mouth and later by the impregnable bulk of the Fort of St Nicholas, built in 1467 and still watching over the marina. Over the centuries the harbor was also a successful and rich trading port but these days its role in Rhodes life is entirely peaceful; a fetching clutch of billionaires’ super-yachts bob in the marina alongside traditional fishing boats and a multitude of tour boats, which depart every day in summer to visit islands off the coast of Rhodes – including Symi and Nisyros – as well as ferrying visitors to local beaches and on diving trips.
Enjoy some free time in the Medieval City of Rhodes to stroll along cobblestone streets, admire the well-preserved medieval architecture, browse local shops, or enjoy a leisurely coffee surrounded by history.

The tour guide made our visit memorable, as she not only showed us around and told us about the history of the place, but she also introduced us to some locals that take care of some of the landmarks. Highly recommend tour!!!
Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing and, in my opinion, quite unprofessional. I booked this tour through Viator almost two months in advance, for August 9. Only 48 hours before the excursion, I received a message informing me that the tour had been cancelled due to an insufficient number of participants. They offered me an alternative that was not convenient for me, but I tried to be flexible and asked what other dates were available. They told me that August 14 was possible, so I agreed. The problems continued from there. I sent several messages through the Viator app asking for clarification about the tour, including details about the hotel pickup, but none of my messages received a response. Less than 24 hours before the newly agreed date, I contacted them again because I needed to know the pickup arrangements. Again, there was no response. Then, 3-4 of hours later, I received another cancellation message, once again with very little notice. I tried one last time to be flexible and asked whether the tour could be moved to the following day. At that point it was already afternoon, so I needed an answer quickly in order to make alternative plans if necessary. Again, there was no response. After waiting for about an hour, I finally asked them to cancel the reservation and issue a refund, while pointing out that their customer service was seriously lacking. I had also tried calling them several times, but nobody answered. Only then did I receive an annoyed response saying that they would proceed with the cancellation and refund as they had already stated. I honestly find this level of communication unacceptable. When you are charging €112 per person, I would expect a much more professional approach to customer service and considerably better communication. If a tour requires a minimum number of participants, this should be managed much more effectively, especially when customers have booked well in advance. I was willing to be flexible on multiple occasions, but the repeated last-minute cancellations, lack of responses and poor communication made the whole experience extremely frustrating. I would personally avoid them and recommend looking for another tour operator in Rhodes.
Dear Anastasos, We regret to hear about your disappointment. However, my colleagues have repeatedly informed you that this shared tour is primarily designed for cruise passengers visiting Rhodes and unfortunately is not intended mainly for individual travelers staying at local hotels. This is exactly why the cancellation policy, available on Viator 24/7, clearly states that this shared tour requires a minimum number of participants for departure and that a full refund will be provided if the minimum is not met. This is exactly what happened with your bookings, as there were no cruise ships visiting Rhodes on the dates you selected and therefore the required number of participants was not reached. When booking through Viator in the future, we strongly recommend carefully reading and understanding the cancellation policy of the selected activity. If anything is unclear, our Customer Care team is always available to assist. If you wish to avoid any risk of cancellation, we recommend considering a private tour, which does not depend on a minimum number of participants. Safe travels!
My twins had an amazing time. They ate well, experienced many fun activities and bonded with classmates.
Many tour guide was very informative and gave a lot of interesting facts about Medieval City.
Guide was good, I will not say best. While sitting in bus she was facing in opposite direction of passengers and sometime hard to listen. Hot summer day plan should have been to do Acropolis and then olive oil place. Going at peak of noon to Acropolis was not well planned. Itinerary was good.
Appreciate speaking with Dimitri re-concerns about booking away from going with ship and his helpfulness.
This is a two-hour walking tour, no bathroom breaks or rest stops, so wear comfy shoes and check the weather. It was an incredible experience. Dimitri is extremely knowledgeable and shares the area's history with such pathos and enthusiasm. Really, it was a terrific tour that gave me a real sense of some of the human lives that played out in this city.
Johanna was an excellent tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and anxious to tell us and show us Rhodes.
Service was phenomenal, great communication and with no problems to report. My child had a great time!
Be prepared to walk/climb and know that Lindos is the hottest point in all of Greece - you will sweat! Overall, it was a great tour to learn about the history of a very unique island.
