Sunlight slants across whitewashed houses and the Aegean flashes below as you step off the coach in Lindos. Narrow alleys funnel you toward the cliff that holds the Acropolis; wind and sea press against the stones while goats graze on the scrubby slopes. A local guide points out the worn stairways and explains the view—St. Paul's Bay cupped beneath the rock—before you begin the climb.
