First Stop:Lindos – Acropolis of Lindos Perched atop a 116-meter-high cliff on the eastern coast of Rhodes, the Acropolis of Lindos holds immense strategic significance. This elevated position allowed ancient inhabitants to have a commanding vantage point over the surrounding sea and land, enabling them to effectively monitor maritime activities and detect potential threats. The natural fortification of the steep cliffs, combined with man-made defenses, made the Acropolis a formidable stronghold against invaders. The Acropolis was situated near vital maritime trade routes, which helped control naval passages between Asia Minor and mainland Greece, enhancing Lindos's role as a major center for commerce and cultural exchange in the ancient world. With its rich history, it has witnessed many phases, from its origins as a center of worship and culture, to its occupation by the Knights of Rhodes and Malta, and its eventual liberation from the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century. Today, the ruins of the Acropolis of Lindos remain one of Greece's most iconic and popular tourist attractions. Whether you're interested in exploring the ruins, enjoying the stunning views, or immersing yourself in Greece’s ancient history, a visit to Lindos is sure to be a memorable experience.
Second Stop:Lake Apollakia – Apollakia Dam The Apollakia Dam, constructed in 1987 for irrigation purposes, led to the formation of a beautiful lake that gradually transformed into a significant wetland area, now ideal for mild activities and nature walks. The lake’s banks are equipped with picnic tables and small wooden houses that accommodate scouts. In August, rowing competitions are held, adding an extra layer of excitement to the tranquil environment. A standout feature of the lake is the small church of Kimisi tis Thotokou (the Assumption of the Virgin Mary), which submerges in water when the lake is full, creating a picturesque and almost surreal scene. Nearby, the Ai Giorgis o Vardas Monastery (St. George Vardas) stands as one of the most important Byzantine monuments on the island. Built in 1289 during the era of Andronikos Palaiologos, the monastery is famous for its exquisite religious paintings and historical significance.
Third Stop:Prasonisi – Prasonisi Beach At the southern tip of Rhodes lies Prasonisi Beach, renowned for its unique geography and ideal conditions for water sports like windsurfing and kitesurfing. The beach features a sandy isthmus that connects to the islet of Prasonisi, creating two distinct coastal areas with varying wind and wave conditions, making it a popular destination for water sports enthusiasts. Prasonisi is undoubtedly one of the most awe-inspiring beaches in Rhodes, and perhaps even in all of Greece. The wide expanse of sandy shoreline gradually narrows as it leads to the island’s tip, where it eventually gives way to two sandy coves. This beautiful beach culminates in a small islet that can be reached on foot or with a refreshing swim, depending on the weather and water levels. This destination promises not only breathtaking views but also thrilling water sports activities.
