Towering 116 metres above the white town sits the Acropolis of Lindos, the second most visited archaeological site in Greece after the Athenian Parthenon.

✦ The Temple of Athena Lindia: Dating back to the 4th century BC, this ancient sanctuary was once visited by Alexander the Great and Hercules according to myth.

✦ The Medieval Fortress: Surrounding the ancient temples are the massive, dramatic walls built by the Knights of Saint John in the 14th century, creating an incredible contrast between ancient Greece and medieval history.

✦ The 360° Panorama: From the cliff edge, look down to see the unique "heart shape" of St. Paul’s Bay on one side and the endless blue Aegean on the other.

Lindos is entirely pedestrianized, meaning no cars are allowed inside. As you wander the maze of white alleys, look out for the historic 17th-century Captains' Mansions.

✦ The Architecture: These grand homes feature heavy wooden doors, arched windows, and beautiful black-and-white pebble stone courtyards called chochlakia.

✦ Modern Shopping: Today, these historic buildings house high-end boutiques, local artisan jewelry shops, and famous rooftop restaurants where you can dine with a direct view of the illuminated Acropolis.

This is not just any beach—it is a geological wonder steeped in biblical history.

✦ The Myth & History: Local tradition says that in 57 AD, Apostle Paul was caught in a massive storm and his ship was miraculously guided through a tiny opening in the rocks into this calm, protected basin to bring Christianity to the island.

✦ The Hollywood Connection: The dramatic, enclosed nature of this coastline made it the perfect backdrop for filming the classic Hollywood movie The Guns of Navarone.

✦ The Water: Because the bay is almost entirely enclosed by giant rocks, there are no waves and no wind. The water stays exceptionally warm, shallow, and crystal-clear, making it look like a giant, natural swimming pool.

We drop you off right at the main entrance of the village. You have hours of free time to lose yourself in the labyrinth of whitewashed houses, discover local linen boutiques, and shop for authentic Greek souvenirs. Hike up to the ancient Acropolis to witness the 4,000-year-old Temple of Athena, or enjoy a refreshing frappe at a stunning rooftop cafe.

With our flexible schedule, you have plenty of time to walk down to St. Paul’s Bay, one of the most beautiful and photographed bays in all of Greece. Enclosed by dramatic rock formations with a tiny historic chapel at the edge, the calm, shallow turquoise water is a natural swimming pool—perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
