Lindos is a World Heritage Site - often over-run with daytrippers but quietens down after 4pm when the boats and coaches leave. There is no traffic allowed in the village - only donkeys. The village is very well preserved. The people could not be nicer. Lindos is not as over-run

Most tourists on Rhodes holiday in Lindos, 29 miles (47km) from the island capital. Lindos was once the capital of the island but today is basically a holiday resort centred on a small medieval village, topped with a fortified ancient Acropolis. The village is quaint, with its cobbled streets and white-stuccoed houses sloping down to the sea.
The Acropolis is reached from Lindos through a series of steps, which can be ascended on donkeys. From the outside, the Acropolis does not betray its Hellenistic origins because the original complex was surrounded by a strong fortification in the Middle Ages by the Knights of St John, but inside are the Doric Stoa, propylaean ruins, the sanctuary of Athena and the Byzantine church of St John.
The ruins of an ancient theatre have been discovered on the slope below the Acropolis, also worth visiting while on holiday in Lindos. Many celebrities have chosen to buy or build holiday homes in the Lindos vicinity and frequent the cafés and tavernas lining the beachfront.
