We were on the bus by 8:00 AM (a very punctual group) and headed down the coast in a southwesterly direction. Drove an hour to Lindos, a small village nestled along the Aegean Sea. All the buildings were gleaming white.The Acropolis is surrounded by huge fort which was built by the Knights of St. John in 1300-1500 AD after the crusades. Started climbing to the Acropolis--many, many steps, no handrails, rough wall on one side and drop-off on the other. Four hundred feet straight up! Donna opted out--smart lady! Oh, was it hot. The view was breathtaking - the village, the sea, The Port and church of St. Paul. (St. Paul reached Rhodes in 57 A. D.) Then the walk down--by this time there were lots and lots of tourist coming up. We made it. Stopped for lunch at a lovely seaside restaurant on the way back.
