Escape To Lindos, Rhodes, For An Active Adventure In 2023 If you’re seeking travel inspiration for 2023, look no further than Lindos, Greece – the perfect destination all year round. Full of winding streets, white-stone buildings and plenty of opportunities to move and stay active, as well as relax, it is a charming town to add to your hit list. Here’s a dose of inspiration on what to do during your trip to the island. HIKE UP TO LINDOS ACROPOLIS Lindos boasts a range of hiking trails for varying fitness levels but a favourite route for adventurous tourists is up to view the ancient Acropolis, blending an active day together with a hint of history. Start off in Vlycha, the seaside village located close to Lindos, and take the foothill trail until you reach the highest point, where you’ll enjoy memorable views of Navarone Bay and azure seas, before heading to enjoy the Acropolis and archeology. DIVE IN WITH WATERSPORTS From kayaking to canoeing, there’s a whole host of offerings to try your hand at watersports across Lindos – Big Blue Watersports being a favourite to guide you. If you’d rather get out to sea and explore different areas of the island or do some swimming, there’s also a variety of boat trips on offer from Vlycha beach and other areas. We’d recommend trying the Captain Manolis ‘lazy day boat trip’ for a more relaxing day on the water – both of which can be found as you stroll the length of the beach.
