Frequently asked questions

Is this a skip-the-line ticket?

Your entry is reserved before you arrive, so you walk straight to the acropolis gate at the top of the climb instead of queuing at the ticket office. On busy summer days, when cruise groups and coaches arrive together on Rhodes, that open-air queue can cost you 20–40 minutes, so coming with your ticket already in hand is worth it after the steep walk up.

Does my ticket have to be for a specific day?

Yes. You choose the date you want to visit and we reserve your entry for that day — there's no fixed time slot to keep, so you can arrive whenever suits you during opening hours on your chosen date. Pick the day when you book and you're set.

What's included in the ticket?

Full admission to the Acropolis of Lindos: the Temple of Athena Lindia, the Hellenistic stoa and the grand staircase, the medieval Knights' castle and commander's residence, the Byzantine church of St John, and the trireme relief carved into the rock at the foot of the stairway.

How and when do I get my ticket?

We send your ticket to your email as a mobile ticket once your booking is confirmed — there's nothing to print, just show it on your phone at the gate. You'll also receive a short 5-minute audio history to listen to before you go.

How do I get to Lindos from Rhodes Town?

Lindos is about 47 km down the east coast — roughly 50 minutes by car or by the frequent KTEL bus from Rhodes Town. Cars park outside the car-free village; from the parking and the village it's a steep 10–20 minute walk up to the acropolis.

Is the climb up hard?

It's a genuine climb — stepped, uneven village lanes and a long stairway up the cliff, with little shade. Most reasonably mobile visitors manage it at their own pace, but wear sturdy shoes, bring water and a hat, and allow extra time in the heat. It is not suitable for wheelchairs or those who can't manage steps.

How long should I allow for the visit?

Allow about 1 to 1.5 hours at the top for the temple, the castle, the church and the views, plus the climb up and down and time in the village. In summer, factor in the heat on the exposed stairway.

What will I see at the top?

The Doric Temple of Athena Lindia on the summit, the columns of the Hellenistic stoa and the monumental staircase, the walls and commander's residence of the Knights of St John, the small Byzantine church, and the famous relief of a Rhodian trireme cut into the rock — all with sweeping views over the village, the harbour and St Paul's Bay.

When is the best time to visit?

Early morning right after opening, or the last two hours of the afternoon, are coolest and quietest and give the best light over the sea. Mid-morning to early afternoon in summer is the busiest and hottest, when cruise groups overlap. Because your ticket is for the date you choose, you can pick a cooler, quieter day.

Can I combine the acropolis with Lindos village and St Paul's Bay?

Most people do. The car-free village below the acropolis, with its captains' houses and lanes, and the small horseshoe of St Paul's Bay just round the headland make a natural half-day with the climb. An open, dated ticket lets you fit the acropolis around lunch in the village and a swim.

Do I need to bring my passport or any ID?

No. The standard entry ticket is not personalised and needs no passport or name — just show your mobile ticket at the gate. (Reduced and free-entry categories set by the operator, such as EU citizens under 25, may require ID at the gate; our ticket is standard full admission.)

Is the site wheelchair accessible?

No. The Acropolis of Lindos is reached only by steep stepped lanes and a long stairway, with more steps and rough ancient surfaces at the top. It is not suitable for wheelchair users or visitors who cannot manage a sustained climb on steps.

Is the Acropolis of Lindos open all year?

Yes — the site is open daily, year-round. Only the daily hours change with the season: longer in summer (roughly 08:00–20:00) and shorter in winter, with last entry about 30 minutes before closing. Hours can change on public holidays, so confirm on the day.

Can I change my mind after booking?

All bookings are final once confirmed; we only issue a refund in the rare event the operator cannot honour a validly issued ticket. If your plans shift, contact our team and we'll help where the operator's rules allow. See our terms for the full policy.

Are you the official Lindos ticket office?

No. We're an independent concierge service for international visitors. We buy genuine tickets on your behalf from the Hellenic Ministry of Culture's official ticketing service and handle the booking in English, and our service fee is included in the price shown. You can always buy directly from the operator if you prefer.

What currency am I charged in?

The price you see is the price you pay — we show it in your local currency where we can and charge exactly that amount, with no surprise fees at checkout. Payment is by card on a secure page.
