#freethedonkeys
Looming over the town of Lindos, this historic fortified citadel holds several ancient structures, including the Doric Temple of Athena Lindia, The Castle of the Knights of St John, and an amphitheater. The acropolis offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and the town below. Donkey rides are a traditional mode of transport here and remain a popular way of climbing the village's steep hills. On the way up, you'll pass by white-washed houses, quaint shops, and restaurants offering traditional Greek fare. Lindos is a 30-mile bus ride from Rhodes Town, and you'll need to purchase a ticket to enter the acropolis. – Tripadvisor

Acropolis Lindos
You can walk up to the Acropolis or get a ride on a Donkey which should cost 6 €/person. The entrance is 12 €/person and it is a must see in Lindo. I suggest to be up not later than 9 a.m. the sun is very strong after 11 and you will end up waiting in very long lines i.e. get up early!!! Main attractions: 1)ruins of the goddess Athena Lindia, temples from the 4th century BC (uppest point) 2)Hellenistic Stoa 3)Byzantine chapel of Saint John. The view from the top is amazing!!

Well worth the climb !
Visited her on a boat trip from Rhodes town - very enjoyable and scenic cruise along the coast. On arrival we headed up the hill to the Acropolis - be ready for some steep and (depending on which path you take) fairly rough pavement. On arriving near the top, we found a queue for tickets - it's a popular landmark, and if several boats arrive at once, will inevitably build up a queue for tickets (12 Euro's each)... however, if you go on line you can book your tickets ahead (same price) and walk round the queue. The castle and the acropolis are impressive and the acropolis has clearly been recently renovated. Views from the top are spectacular. Worth a good hour of taking in the sites. The walk down, like the walk up, can be a bit rough in places, so a pair of "sensible" shoes is advisable. Plenty fo nice icecream shops and bards for a cooling cone or drink when you get back inot the town. Good day out, and good avlue
