Practical
Greeka: the site covers about 8,400 m². Walk up through the village from Lindos Bay or St Paul's Bay. Go early, before the tour buses (the daily rush runs about 10 am to 4:30 pm per Sailing Issues). Sailing Issues urges visitors not to ride the donkeys. Check current hours and tickets locally; take water and a hat.
