I’m planning a trip to Rhodes and will be spending a few days in Lindos. I’ve already got the main attractions on my list, like the Acropolis and the beautiful St. Paul’s Bay, but I’d love to discover some hidden gems that might not be on the typical tourist radar.

Are there any lesser-known spots or unique experiences in Lindos that you’d recommend? I’m particularly interested in charming local cafes, quiet beaches, secret viewpoints, or any special places where I can soak up the authentic atmosphere of the village. I’d also love tips on any hidden alleyways with beautiful architecture or local shops that sell unique souvenirs.

Additionally, if there are any specific local dishes or lesser-known tavernas that serve amazing food, I’m all ears! I’m excited to explore and appreciate any advice to make my Lindos visit extra special.
 
I loathe Lindos.Only been there once. Its overcrowded with tourists, Most off the cruise ships .tavernas /shops expensive .Example. bought a 3 litre bottle of Ouzo on a metal stand & with a tap . bought in Faliraki for 38.00 euros .a month later saw EXACTLY the same in supermarket on Krana in Lindos .Price 85.50 Euros .yes that is right eighty five euros & 50 cents .what a rip off
 
Lindos is full of hidden gems beyond the main attractions! For a quieter beach experience, check out Glystra Beach, a serene spot with crystal-clear waters. It’s perfect if you’re looking to avoid crowds. For stunning views, take a short hike to the top of the Tomb of Kleoboulos—an ancient monument with panoramic views of Lindos and the coastline, often missed by tourists.

Wandering through Lindos’ narrow alleyways is a must! You’ll find beautifully preserved traditional architecture, and charming local shops selling handcrafted ceramics and unique jewelry. Keep an eye out for small art galleries as well.

For a cozy meal, visit Dionysos Restaurant, a family-run taverna serving traditional dishes like moussaka and stifado. For a more off-the-beaten-path option, Arhontiko is a hidden gem tucked into a side street, offering authentic Ikarian dishes and a laid-back atmosphere.
 
the tavena on glystra beach got burned down last year in the fire . it was illegal anyway .no sun beds this year .the path to kleoboulos is strewn with litter .

Traditional Dishes to Try While on Rhodes?

I’ll be visiting Rhodes this summer, and I can’t wait to explore the island’s food scene! I know Greek cuisine is amazing, but I’d love to try local dishes that are unique to Rhodes.

Are there any must-try specialties that I shouldn’t miss? I’ve heard about pitaroudia (chickpea fritters) and lakani (a slow-cooked meat dish), but I’d love more recommendations—whether it’s seafood, traditional meze, or local desserts.

Also, if you have any restaurant or taverna recommendations, I’d really appreciate it! I want to experience authentic, home-style cooking rather than just touristy spots. Bonus points if it’s by the sea with a great view!

Looking forward to your tips and suggestions—thanks in advance!

What to See in Rhodes for a 3-Day Visit

I’ll be visiting Rhodes for three days soon and would love some advice on the must-see attractions! I’m interested in a mix of history, culture, and natural beauty, but with only a short time, I want to make sure I hit the highlights.

What are the absolute must-visit spots that I shouldn’t miss? I’m especially curious about any hidden gems or local favorites that might not be in every guidebook. Also, any tips on the best way to plan my days to maximize my experience would be fantastic.
