TRAVEL THE WORLD - LINDOS, GREECE


On the ascent to the acropolis at Lindos on the island of Rhodes, we stopped a few times to admire the spectacular view. At the top, there were ancient ruins, including the remains of the Temple of Athena, the Doric stoa, and the Byzantine church of St John. Looking at the photo will give give you an idea of how high we were above the level of the sea.
