Rules in force · 10Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…Mine-suspected land still exists in Bosnia and Herzegovin…
  • Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
  • Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
  • Balkans ↗Mine-suspected land still exists in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in pockets of Croatia's former front line: outside towns keep to tarmac and waymarked paths, and treat red triangle signs and taped-off fields as absolute.
  • Balkans ↗Serbia refuses onward entry to travellers who reached Kosovo from a third country and then try to cross straight into Serbia; route Kosovo–Serbia legs through North Macedonia or Montenegro, or start the loop in Serbia.
  • Balkans ↗Hire cars need written permission from the rental company and valid insurance for every country on the line; Kosovo sells its own border insurance and some contracts exclude Albania, Kosovo or Bosnia outright.
  • Greece ↗Greece is in the EU and the Schengen area: check entry rules, the EU Entry/Exit System and any travel authorisation requirement for your passport on official sources.
  • Greece ↗Taking stones, pottery or other objects from archaeological sites is illegal; so is exporting antiquities without a permit.
  • Greece ↗Do not photograph military sites or border zones; signs mark them.
  • Greece ↗Acropolis tickets are sold for one-hour entry slots on the official Hellenic Heritage site (hhticket.gr); in peak season slots sell out days ahead, and you cannot enter outside your hour.
  • Greece ↗Businesses must give a receipt (apodeixi) for every sale; ask for one, and do not accept a handwritten note in place of it.

Lindos is a whitewashed village of about 800 people on Rhodes' east coast, built under a rock with a Dorian acropolis on top and two sandy bays below. It is pedestrianised, so you park or arrive by bus outside and walk in. Two nights is enough: one for the acropolis and village, one for the beaches and St Paul's Bay. In July and August the lanes and the climb fill up by mid-morning, so the timing of your day matters more than the length of your stay.

Arrive & move

Airports are listed under At a glance; this is how to move once you are in

Getting around

On foot only inside the village: the lanes are pedestrianised and stepped, so a stroller or wheeled case is hard work. The acropolis climb is a steep 10–15 min on uneven stone with no handrails; a donkey ride up costs about €6. Buses run along the coast to Rhodes city and nearby resorts; a car helps for beaches and day trips but must be parked outside the centre.

Watch out

Safety

Very safe for tourists; the real risks are the heat and footing on the acropolis climb, plus pickpocketing in the crowded lanes in high season. Swim where others swim, and keep an eye on the meltemi wind on the east-coast beaches.
  • The acropolis climb is steep, uneven and has no handrails; not suitable for limited mobility.
  • Coach groups arrive mid-morning and leave around midday: go up at opening.
  • Blue-marked parking spaces near the centre are paid; free spaces are further out.
  • Beach sunbeds and parasols are charged (about €8 (≈ US$10) for a parasol and two loungers at St Paul's Bay).
  • Summer heat peaks in Jul–Aug; carry water for the climb.

Deep dive

What this guide covers so far, and its sources

Not a trip line yet

This is a basic guide: no airport-to-bed contract, walking clusters or day plans are published for Lindos. Airport, fare and schedule details are unverified; check the operators before you fly.

What we know, and what is coming

On this page

  1. Best months: May–Jun, Sep–Oct · avoid Jul–Aug (heat, crowds, full prices) · month by month →
  2. 1 airport and 3 areas to sleep in
  3. Weather: a 7-day forecast and monthly averages
  4. Cost per day in 3 bands
  5. 7 day-trips, door to door
  6. 5 things to watch out for, with emergency numbers

Coming as the guide grows

  1. Airport-to-bed contract for RHO: last bus and taxi bands field-checked, plus a late-arrival rung.
  2. Three walking clusters with rescue anchors: Krana square, the village lanes, the two bays.
  3. Place pages with verified cutoffs (acropolis, Church of the Assumption, St Paul's Bay) and eat pages with last orders.
  4. Crowd and heat fixtures so the acropolis timing advice can go green.
