Lindos

Our second full day in Rhodes we decided to go to Lindos Town. I had seen pictures of St. Paul's Bay and wanted to make sure to get there before we left the island. We slept in and had a really slow morning. We couldn't decide whether to rent a car or take the bus. We decided to get a car. 

Of course since we wasted so much of the morning there were no more cars left in our price range. Bus it is. 

We walked down to the bus station and bought two tickets to Lindos on the 1pm bus. It was about an hour and 15 minutes later and we got off the bus to make the short walk to the bay. The water and surrounding rocks were stunning. We took a bunch of pictures and then rented an umbrella and lounge chairs for 8 euros while we went for a swim. The water was pretty warm once we were in. After our swim we ate spinach pies on the beach, read a little, and walked into Lindos. 

The streets were narrow like in old town, but instead of crumbling ancient bricks, the buildings were made of cement and painted white. It's a pretty pretty village and we had some iced coffee and a crepe before walking to an overlook. 

Right before leaving we decided to go in the water one more time, this time from Lindos Beach. It was a great view looking up at the town from the water and just what we needed to cool off. 

Once we were back in Rhodes Town we showered and went to dinner at the same place as night one.
