One of the most famous villages of Rhodes, Lindos dominates the choices of visitors for excursions. An important role in this choice is played by one of its most famous archaeological sites, the Acropolis of Lindos.

To reach the top of the Acropolis, there is no other way but hiking. This is the beautiful element of the route, you manage to experience a short journey, which starts from the village, passing through the alleys and slowly without realizing it you are in another era.

Medieval town of Rhodes
The old town of Rhodes, as the locals like to call it, is the best known and most easily accessible archaeological site to visit. The Medieval city, combines a multitude of cultural heritages, as its history is vast since ancient times. It is worth every visitor to walk the whole city and experience this magical journey through time. The Street of the Knights, which is located at the top, is one of the most historic streets, where at the end we find, another historical monument, the Palace of the Grand Master, in which, by the way, no one has ever lived inside. This particular street is probably the most famous on the whole island. Moreover, inside the old town one will find the Archaeological Museum which contains the statue of Aphrodite and various archaeological collections from all over the island.

Acropolis of Rhodes
On the hill of Monte Smith, we find another ancient site of the island, where the Acropolis of Rhodes is located. Anyone can go there at any time and enjoy the archaeological landscape. This particular site is composed of various small temples and the famous Ancient Stadium of Rhodes. In this during the Hellenistic period various sports competitions were held and important athletes of that time have participated.
It is advisable to visit this particular attraction, either at sunrise or sunset. The view from the height of the hill is dreamy and in combination with the archaeological element that the Acropolis provides, it offers the visitor a unique experience.

Ancient Kameiros
On the western side of the island, one of the most important cities, Ancient Kameiros, is located. It is an impressive archaeological site which consists of three levels, the Acropolis of the Goddess Athena, the houses and the road that connects them to the Sanctuary and the market. In addition, the Ancient City is built amphitheatrically so it has very good acoustics. It has no fortification at all so that the visitor enjoys, apart from the beautiful archaeological landscape, a beautiful view of the sea, which is almost next to Kameiros. However, not everyone can go to this site at any time they want, as it is organized and has specific timetables, both in winter and summer.

Ancient Ialyssos
Along with Lindos and Kamiros, Ialyssos is the most ancient city in the interior of the island. There the visitor will find historical monuments such as the Doric Temple of Athena Polyados, the Doric fountain, which consists of two tunnels that carry water from the top of the hill.
