The hiking tour starts in the area of Vlicha, a beach located close to Lindos, on the East coast of Rhodes. As you set off on this trail, you leave behind the buzz of the busy main road and head towards the west on a dirt track. Very soon you find yourself hiking in the shade of old pine trees.
The greenery here is a pleasant surprise when you think of how rocky and barren the land around Lindos is, as seen from the road.
Hiking Tour Exploring Lindos takes you past imposing limestone mountain sides and on the way you visit an impressive cave. It is here in the area of the cave that you can see how the people of Lindos once provided for themselves agriculturally.
Hiking Lindos is a unique hiking tour since it's an unusual way of visiting such an important historical site. You will never forget your first glimpse of the Acropolis of Lindos from on high, surrounded by the magnificent colours of the Mediterranean Sea.
