Rhodes City to Lindos and Anthony Quinn Bay: Day trip

Explore this stunning hilltop village crowned by an ancient acropolis with breathtaking views. Climb stone steps through narrow lanes lined with white-washed houses featuring distinctive pebble mosaic courtyards. Reach the Acropolis, where Hellenistic and Byzantine ruins include the Temple of Athena Lindia and medieval fortifications. The panorama encompasses the village below, St Paul's Bay, and endless Aegean horizons. Wander the car-free village exploring boutiques selling ceramics, textiles, and jewelry in traditional captain's houses. Visit the Byzantine Church of Panagia with elaborate frescoes. Relax at rooftop restaurants with spectacular views while enjoying Greek specialties. The village beach offers golden sand and turquoise waters. Evening brings a magical atmosphere when day-trippers depart, and golden light bathes ancient columns. Lindos perfectly blends archaeological wonder, traditional architecture, and natural beauty.

Swim in this stunning bay named after Hollywood actor Anthony Quinn, who fell in love with Rhodes during 'The Guns of Navarone' filming and purchased nearby land. Descend wooden steps to the beautiful cove featuring crystal-clear emerald and turquoise waters surrounded by dramatic rock formations. Snorkel among rocks teeming with colorful fish and interesting underwater topography. Rent sunbeds and umbrellas at the organized beach or find your own spot on the rocky shore. The small beach bar serves drinks and snacks while the sheltered bay provides calm swimming conditions. The underwater scenery and pristine waters make this one of Rhodes's best snorkeling spots. Visit during the morning or late afternoon to avoid peak crowds when the limited space fills quickly. The combination of cinematic history, stunning natural beauty, and excellent snorkeling creates one of Rhodes's most beloved swimming destinations.
