... Nice views of Acropolis... the most important and impressive archaeological site on the island of Rhodes at the ancient city of Lindos.... above the modern town rises the Acropolis of Lindos... a steep footpath (250 steps😅) climbs the 116m high rock to reach the beautifully preserved Acropolis... from the Acropolis you have magical views of the surrounding harbours and coastline... framed by mighty fortress walls... Lindos is a town full of ancient history and legends, a lot of which is still evident today... Big Thanks once more Andrene! (✿ ♥‿♥)
The temple dedicated to the goddess Athena is estimated to have been constructed during the 9th century BC. By 700 BC, Lindos was already an important commercial center in the region and a mighty naval power, as well.
Lindos is a town on the eastern coast of Rhodes and is an archaeological site and fishing village in the Dodecanese. They are a group of 15 larger plus 150 smaller Greek islands in the southeastern Aegean Sea and Eastern Mediterranean, off the coast of Turkey's Anatolia, of which 26 are inhabited.
