LINDOS  HISTORY

·         3000 years of history, an incredible landscape.

Here Cleoboulos, one of the seven sages of ancient Greece lived and ruled. While Rome was a small Etruscan village , Lindos was a centre of civilized life, or art and culture. The temple of LINDIA Athena was built by Cleoboulos in 550 B.C. and rebuilt in the 3rd century B.C. in the form you see today.

• The Apostle Paul was ship-wrecked at Lindos, founded the Rhodium church, and gave his name to St. Paul's Bay.
   

  St. Paul's Bay

When the Hellenistic and Byzantine world fell to the Saracen invasions , the knights of St. John occupied the island.
They fortified the Acropolis, incorporating the old Byzantine church which is still visible.

• The church in the village, dedicated to Assumption of our Lady (Panache) was built by the knights in the 14th century and frescoed by Gregorio of Symi in the traditional style in 1779.

• The fascination of Lindos depends on the layering of the centuries each providing a distinctive flavor, the ancient Greeks, the knights, the houses of the 18th century ship masters, the restaurants and shops of today.

The entrance to the village is on the north, by its only square, which is now used as a car park and has a large tree in the middle and a small fountain with many features from the period of the Knights. Just inside you will find the "taxi station", some beautiful and very quiet donkeys you can rent to have an easy way up to the Acropolis.
