Acropolis of Lindos (Athena Lindia) is one of the most important ancient cities of Rodhes what can be seen today above the sea at an altitude of 116m. He is from the first three major cities founded on the island by Dorians,together with Ialyssos and Kamiros. Lindos was securing control on the western side of the island.
From the surrender of the occupants to the turks in 1522,and through the 16th and 17th centuries,the castle sustained some renovaiton work,mostly of military nature.
Today only the west tower and the southwest tower survive.But still is an amazing building to visit because of its renowned antiquiti.
The distance from it airport is about 55km /1h driving.
The castle of Asklipio (Asklepieion) was built in 1479 by Grand Master D'Aubusson at the site of an ancient lighthouse. In the Byzantine period, during the time of the Knights, the castle also offered the inhabitants of the surrounding villages protection against enemy attacks. If you are not scared about the heights then worth to take a look from the top to see the soundings. Totally worth it. 👍👌 You can reach there by bus or by car in prox. 50 min driving from Rodhos, via Arhangelos.
