Acropolis in Lindos

While on holiday we did take 2 excursions outside the hotel. The first one was to the Acropolis in Lindos. It was beautiful and I hope my pictures gives the place justice.


View from the road driving into Lindos. The Acropolis was built in 300 B.C. The outside walls were built by the Knights of St. John around 1370.
















Here at the bottom is the Greek amphitheater.














The kids took a donkey ride up to the top of the Acropolis while my husband and I walked behind:)

The reconstructed pillars of the Acropolis














There is a mixture of old stones and new stones in these pillars can you tell which is which?

















Inside one of the buildings, filled with broken columns and old stones.
















An olive tree growing inside the Acropolis!

I can't begin to tell you how amazing it was to walk these steps and be there to see this amazing place.
