Lindos Boat Trips from Rhodes: The Complete Guide
A boat trip to Lindos is one of the most rewarding day out on Rhodes. Instead of the coast road, you sail down the sheltered east coast, stop to swim in bays you cannot reach by car, and arrive below the floodlit Acropolis of Lindos. This guide explains the different Lindos boat trips, what is included and how to pick the right one.
What a Lindos boat trip is like
Most Lindos boat trips are full-day cruises that leave Rhodes Town in the morning and follow the east coast south. Along the way the boat pauses at clear bays for swimming and snorkelling — often Anthony Quinn Bay and Ladiko — before reaching Lindos around midday.
Once at Lindos you have free time to climb up to the Acropolis, wander the white-washed lanes or relax on the beach, before a leisurely cruise back with another swim stop. Drinks, snorkelling gear and sometimes fruit are included on many departures.
Which Lindos boat trip is best for you
For families, a calm full-day cruise with shallow swim stops and space to move around the deck works best. For snorkelling, choose a trip that stops at Anthony Quinn Bay, where the rocks and clear water are ideal. If you mainly want to see the village, a faster Lindos-by-boat trip with more free time ashore is the better fit.
Some cruises also include a fish-feeding stop or a visit to St Paul’s Bay, the tiny circular harbour beneath the Acropolis. Tell us what matters most and we will match you to the right boat.
