About Lindos: About 45 kilometers south of the town of Rhodes is the Lindos Acropolis, a massive fortified outcrop which dominates the landscape. It is the site of  the temple to Athena established by the Dorians more than 3000 years ago. The present village of Lindos which nestles below the Acropolis, was once the centre of a powerful city-state. In ancient times it was an important place of pilgrimage. Over the centuries Lindos remained a centre of trade activity because of its two natural harbours.

Because of its strategic position between the East and the West, the island of Rhodes attracted many invading forces. When the Ottomans took control of Rhodes in 1523, Lindos prosperity continued. By the early 17th C the unique style of the Lindos Mansions had evolved. These distinctive houses form the basis of the design inspiration for Melenos-Lindos.

Distances: Melenos Lindos is situated 45 kilometres south of the town of Rhodes' harbour and airport. Many European cities have direct flights in the season, April to October. Alternatively there are regular flights from Athens to Rhodes and a fast ferry service from Piraeus to Rhodes harbour. Transport from Rhodes airport or harbour to Lindos can be by taxi or hire car, arranged at the time of making the accommodation reservations.
