South of the capital town, on the slopes of a magnificent hill, lays the gorgeous settlement of Lindos. Built amphitheatrically, the village has whitewashed houses, pebble paved courtyards, hidden alleys and buildings of Byzantine, Medieval, and Arab style. The most remarkable part of Lindos is the imposing Acropolis, standing on top of a rocky hill overlooking the scenic Bay of Saint Paul.
This Acropolis is actually the ancient town of Lindos, founded by the Dorians in the 10th century BC, the remains of which reveal its former wealth. Important monuments, like the temple of Athena Lindia and the Propylea of the Sanctuary, can be found at the Acropolis.
