The day begins at the cruise pier as sun-creased water flashes against the harbor and a guide waits with a compact, air-conditioned minibus. You drive inland past olive groves and low limestone hills, the road unfolding like a map of Rhodes’ long human story until whitewashed Lindos appears clinging to its cliff—the Acropolis rising above like an unfinished sentence of stone.
