Archaeological sights in Dodecanese

  1. Acropolis of Lindos

    It's about a 10-minute climb to the entrance gate of the Acropolis, spectacularly perched atop a 116m (380ft) rock. Once inside, sights include a warship hewn out of the rock by the sculptor Pythokritos, the remains of a 20-columned Hellenistic stoa, a Byzantine church, a 5th-century BC propylaeum (temple porch) and a 4th-century Temple to Athena.
