Informationen uber das Private Tour: Lindos Acropolis and Village

Discover the ancient village of Lindos with its stunning 4,000-year-old acropolis on a 4-hour sightseeing tour! With an expert private guide, travel to Rhodes' east coast along the scenic coastal roads, and then explore Lindos Acropolis (own expense) on a walking tour. Have a camera ready to capture sights of Byzantine ruins and Ancient Greek temple against the backdrop of the Bay of St Paul, and then visit the Church of the Ascension in the village. The itinerary on this private tour is flexible and can be tailored to your requirements.

Start your excursion at a time to suit your schedule, and then leave your Rhodes hotel by minivan with your private guide. Travel by air-conditioned minivan along the island's east coast and gaze out of the window at some of Rhodes' most beautiful beaches. Pass through several sleepy villages, and finally stop in Lindos, the island's famous ancient village.

Lindos' pretty streets are fringed by the sugar cube houses found on many a Greek island, but it's the magnificent 4,000-year-old acropolis that gives the village its star appeal. Work your way up Lindos' gently winding cobblestone streets, and head inside the acropolis to explore with your guide. Have your camera ready to capture sights of the ruined Byzantine fortress and an Ancient Greek temple, and gaze down at the sweeping Bay of St Paul.

After discovering the delights of Lindos Acropolis (own expense), make your way back into the village to visit the Byzantine Church of the Ascension. Admire its stately interiors and stained glass windows, and then enjoy some free time to explore the village independently.

Return to your minivan, and travel back along the breathtaking coastal roads. Your private tour then finishes with a hotel drop-off.

Samaria Gorge Small-Group Hiking Day Trip from Chania

The Samaria Gorge, a national park and UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in southwest Crete, is one of the largest limestone gorges in Europe and one of the most eye-pleasing spots on the island. See the best of the gorge on this 6-hour guided hike through the ravine. A guide leads you through the mountainous rocky landscape, traversing 10 miles (16 kilometers).
Upon pickup at your Chania hotel in the morning, let the comfortable, deluxe van shuttle you to the gorge. Start hiking as the guide regales you with historical tales about the area, one of the oldest inhabited spots in Europe. Pass through tiny villages including the eponymous Samaria, which was abandoned in the 1960s to make way for the park.
One of the most spectacular sections of the somewhat strenuous hike is the passage through the Gates, where the ravine is only 13 feet (4 meters) across and the cliffs on either side climb to roughly 300 feet (90 meters) high.
At the base of the gorge, enjoy a refreshing swim in the sea or explore a village that is only accessible by boat or by hiking through the gorge. Sit down at a village tavern for a hearty seafood lunch (not included). Once your time in the village is done, enjoy an hour΄s sail to a nearby port, and end the trip with hotel drop-off.
