Sightseeing
Lndos village is one of Rhodes’ top attractions! Out of the three ancient city-states, it is the only one that has survived. Daily, thousands of travellers visit Lindos to wander through its picturesque streets, to visit the Archaeological site – the Acropolis, or to spend a day swimming and sunbathing on its sandy beaches.
Lindos is situated at a distance of approx. 50 km (31 miles) from the capital and occupies the same place as the ancient homonymous city.

Lindos is situated at a distance of approx. 50 km (31 miles) from the capital and occupies the same place as the ancient homonymous city.
The village is similar to the old medieval settlements of the Aegean. The houses are built very close to one another, with the courtyards in the interior, a feature that assures protection. Porous stone and limestone are the main building material. The actual form of the settlement was established after 1610, following the strong earthquake. The village was reconstructed and decorated with new buildings, at the expense of the wealthy local ship owners. The most representative mansions are dated in the 17th and 18th c. and are known by the name of their owners; the house of Papakonstantis, of Kyriakos, of Makris, of Krikis, of Marietta Markoulitsa and of Ioanidis. Today, the majority of the 800 permanent residents of the village are occupied in tourism.
It’s an ideal location for carefree strolls with cosmopolitan summer atmosphere, vibrant narrow, labyrinthine streets, white-washed houses, religious monuments, cozy rooftop gardens with restaurants & cafes, stylish boutiques and mainstream souvenir shops, all side by side.

BUTTERFLY VALLEY OR PETALOUDES
Rhodes is recognized for its rich vegetation and natural beauty, which is very rare on a Greek island! The canyon of Pelekanos River hosts a unique Valley that is named after the Panaxia Quatripunctaria Butterfly. The 1 km route that composes the Butterfly Valley is beautifully organized with wooden bridges over pools and falls of water, paved footpaths, and little benches to enjoy the scenery.

Butterfly Valley | Rhodes Island | Manos Going
The Secret of the Valley lies with the vast density of Liquidambar Styrax trees and the resin that it produces. The sweet smell of the resin attracts the butterflies. When walking around, you will see Liquidambar trees everywhere, and of course, hundreds of Butterflies on the trunk and leaves.
There are three entrances with parking areas. The bottom entrance is next to the Museum of Natural History. The middle entrance is considered to be the main entrance with a snack bar and a souvenir shop, and the upper entrance is next to the Monastery of Panaghia Kalopetra.

The old monastery of Tsambika is built on top of a hill with gorgeous view to the sea and the surrounding area, offering breathtaking views over the beaches of Tsambika and Kolymbia.
The road to Tsampika monastery turns off the main road, some meters before the turn to Tsambika beach. The road leads half of the way up on the hill. From this point on, you will have to walk up the hill, following the 350 steps. On the top of the hill you will find the tiny, Byzantine church, dedicated to the Virgin. It's perched at an altitude of some 240 m featuring some truly spectacular views on the coast, both north over Kolymbia and south over Tsambika beach and all the way to Lindos, which makes the strenuous effort uphill definitely worth a try!
The legend has it that women facing difficulties in conceiving should climb the hill barefooted to pray to the Virgin for fertility and that most of the times, faith is compensated and wishes fulfilled. If so, the male child to be born to such mother is to be named «Tsampikos» whereas the girl «Tsampika». For those still skeptical on the veracity of this lore, we recommend that you experiment by merely calling the name in a busy street anywhere on the island: just count the number of heads turning to you for cognizance! Tsampikoses and Tsampikas have their name’s day on the 7th of September.

In the Medieval Quarter of Rhodes (most commonly referred to as the “Old Town”) one may for sure enjoy one of the most interesting walks on the island. Do not let the "medieval" mislead you: rather than a ruined, deserted setting, you will be pleasantly surprised to wander through an intricate network of busy little commercial streets delightfully alternating with quiet alleys, in what is a very much alive town consistently dwelt in over the last two thousand years! No wonder, therefore, that for some time now, the Medieval Quarter of Rhodes - the oldest inhabited medieval town in Europe - forms part of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage network!
This is a bustling neighborhood of some 6000 people, who live and work in the same buildings in which the Knights of St. John dwelt, six centuries ago. An emotion certain to remain forever alive on one’s memory!
Medieval buildings, mosques, traditional fountains, oriental motifs, Byzantine and Gothic churches, shops and cafeterias are scattered throughout the Old Town of Rhodes, all blending together to create a unique and picturesque whole. There are roughly 200 streets or alleys – some of them bearing no name! Getting “lost” here is not a defeat; it's an opportunity. Whenever you feel the need to find your bearings, you may ask for Sokratous street, which is the closest the Medieval City comes to having a main street.
The Palace of the Grand Master, reinstated by the Italians in 1940 after almost a century of abandonment (the building had been destroyed as a result of an explosion in a forgotten powder store in its basement, in 1856), stands out because of its imposing entrance and exquisitely well-preserved towers and battlements. The interiors of the buildings, decorated with priceless ornamental objects, are equally impressive.

Consejos para la ciudad
Cómo moverse
Rent a car or bike during you stay
The easiest way to communicate on the island is to rent a car or motorbike. Of course, we always recommend a car although that traffic on island could be crazy and bit dangerous during the summer. If you need any assistance for renting a car, you may contact me on my whatsapp or check the neighbour where you will find some rent-a-offices
