Built on a slope, Lindos is the most attractive and popular village on the island. This picturesque town should definitely be on your list of things to do in Rhodes. The whitewashed labyrinth of little alleyways was deliberately designed to confuse pirates; today this layout makes wandering around the town with its small shops and cafes a real adventure!

Now it's time to make a little history of your own by embracing the passion for ceramics that has defined Greece for thousands of years during a pottery demonstration.
