Lindos Tours: Boats, Buses and Kayaks

October 31, 2026

There are four common ways to book a visit to Lindos with some structure: a boat from Rhodes Town, a sail from the village bay, a coach tour and a guided kayak day. Each has a different pace, and most prices below come from reseller listings, in euros. Use them as a guide and check the current figure before you pay.

Option 1: the boat from Rhodes Town

Best for: swimmers who want one relaxed day.
How it works: a boat leaves Mandraki harbour at about 08:45 and is back around 17:30. It anchors at Lindos Bay and also stops at Anthony Quinn Bay and Tsambika Bay for a swim.
Cost: roughly €50 to €56.

Option 2: sailing and glass-bottom boats from St Paul’s Bay

Best for: guests already staying in Lindos.
How it works: operators moor close to the chapel at the bay. Gin Tonic Lindos Sailing offers a six-hour sailing day with four swim stops. The Melani is a glass-bottom boat that tours Paul’s Bay, the Navarone cliffs and the caves.
Cost: about €70 for the sailing day. Reserve ahead for July and August.

Option 3: a coach tour with free time

Best for: travellers without a car who prefer to hand over the planning.
How it works: escorted coaches run from Rhodes Town and give you free time in the village. Some bundles include a guide and start at about €25 or more, which is a different figure from the Acropolis admission.
Alternative: the public KTEL service is €5.50 each way and leaves you free to set your own schedule. The timetable sits on the KTEL Rhodes page .

Option 4: a guided kayak day

Best for: active visitors.
How it works: Trekking Hellas runs Discover Lindos, a full-day sea kayak trip that starts at Vlycha Beach. A snorkel stop and lunch are part of the day, along with a visit to the Lindos site. It is scheduled on Sundays from April to October and by request on other days.
Cost: from about €140. Full details are at trekking.gr .

Sights that tours include

The Acropolis has a Doric stoa, a propylaea, the Temple of Athena Lindia and Knights’ castle walls. A full ticket costs about €20 and a reduced one about €10, with timed entry, and the official portal is hhticket.gr . Restoration has continued since 1985, so some areas may be roped off.

The Church of the Panagia has a bell tower from 1489 and frescoes from the 18th century. An Ecclesiastical Museum sits beside it, and a traditional mansion, the Papakonstantis house, shows a folk collection in season.

Picking one

For a first visit with limited days, take Option 1 or the public bus, then climb the Acropolis early. If you are staying in the village, pair a morning ashore with Option 2 in the afternoon. Compare the listed trips on Viator . Summer afternoons regularly exceed 35 C, and the countryside has a high wildfire risk from April to October, so follow the 112 alerts.
