On another bright and breezy day, we once again made our way down to Mandraki Harbour to board the Aphrodite Queen for our trip to the village of Lindos.
The Aphrodite Queen was clearly built for speed, and she soon proved it as we zipped across the sea at an impressive pace. At times the spray swept over the sides of the boat, leaving some passengers with a refreshing soaking.
After a journey of just over an hour, we slowed as we approached a beautiful bay guarded by the ruins of an ancient Acropolis, standing high on a promontory overlooking the village of Lindos.
After disembarking via a rather rickety pier, we made our way up to the village along a footpath offering striking views across the bay below.
Lindos itself is a maze of narrow alleyways lined with whitewashed buildings, while shops and restaurants compete to tempt the many visitors exploring the village.
We spent some time wandering through the charming streets before stopping for lunch at a restaurant with an outdoor terrace, where the Acropolis provided a spectacular backdrop.
All too soon, it was time to head back down to the harbour and reboard the boat for the lively and somewhat bumpy ride back to Rhodes Town.
