Unforgettable Lindos Cruise: Swim, Explore Ancient Wonders

There are multiple operators who offer this trip so we asked our hotel concierge who they recommend and they said these guys. The hotel organized it for us and we were provided with a voucher and pick up instructions. We were staying at the Atrium Platinum and the bus stop is a few meters from the hotel. The bus into Rhodes was immaculate and there wasn't too many pick ups en route. Once there, you're greeted by a rep who directs you to your particular boat. We were on board the Triton. I'm fortunate to have done a few boat trips over the years and I have never been on board one that was cleaner, better staffed or on which the drinks and snacks were so reasonable. The trip takes 2.5hrs with a swimming stop each way. We were a bit unfortunate that it wasn't exactly scorching hot, however I'm sure on a roasting hot day this would be a welcome stop. Anthony Quinn bay on the way to Lindos is stunning, we felt the stop on the way back was less special..but again that might well have been because it was a bit dull. Lindos is pretty but be warned, even in October it was extremely busy. We went to the Acropolis via the walking route which winds through the narrow streets full of shops and cafes. I found the sensation a bit like that of leaving a sporting event or big concert...throngs of people almost pushing you along. Difficult to stop without feeling like a total pain to others! The Acropolis itself is worth a visit and the views are beautiful, however if you've watched YouTube or Tictoc be aware that the perfect photo is difficult...there are people everywhere. There are a few signs to explain what you are looking at but if you really want to appreciate the Acropolis, I'd suggest a guided tour is the way to do it. There are no ear buds or models of how things would have looked so it's quite difficult to take in whilst negotiating the crowds and trying not to be a pain to others. The walking is tricky underfoot. I would suggest giving this a miss if you have mobility issues. Likewise, the walk up is fairly steep and there are no safety rails for the walk back down, so if you are not good with heights...like my husband...be warned. We came back via the donkey route which, whilst a bit slippy so you need to take care, has no drop offs and is a much better option if you don't like heights. If we were to go back we would instead visit St Paul's bay instead..it looks absolutely beautiful ❤️ We ran out of time. The beach at Lindos is gorgeous, especially if you've been staying near Ixia with all its shingle. There are lovely places to eat, drink and watch the world go by All in all I would highly recommend this trip..the boat is great, the crew are great. If you really want to enjoy the town and the Acropolis, it might be best to hire a car and get there before all the boat trips descend. We had a great day.

We had a really good, friendly driver who brought a lot of good humor with him. Lindos and the Acropolis were amazing 🤩!!

Trip was very well organized. We actually missed our pick up at the hotel (my fault) and although we had to get a taxi they did send a SMS and rang me twice to make sure we didn't miss the trip, without that we would have missed it and lost our money, so I'm very grateful. I will definitely book another trip when we come back. Boat clean, stops amazing.well done to the crew.

The coach picked up from the hotel on time with the added bonus of the tour guide ensuring everyone was collected!! This was great as many coaches didn't wait to make sure all passengers were present!! A prompt transfer from Blue Bay to Rhodes, a few stops along the main road and arrived within half an hour. Your guide explained the drop off and pick up locations and times, all staff and drivers super helpful and good English language. Excellent trip and would highly recommend!! Even ended up with our own fancy minibus for just our hotel!! Perfect day!!

Fabulous swimming stops and Lindos is beautiful with several cafes and tavernas. Walking uphill in the heat to the acropolis ( we arrived at noon) was too much for me but others managed it. I was disappointed that our return transfer was considerably delayed as we waited for another tour group to join our bus. It made a long day too long.

Great trip. Friendly staff on the speed boat and perfect amount of time to visit the Acropolis, have lunch and a wander around. Beautiful swimming spot on the way back - the perfect cool down.

We went to Lindos and Symi by boat with Manos Going. We had the most amazing day in both locations. Booking process is very simple and they send you clear information on where to be and when. Both boats (Lindos and Symi) were clean, part of them had aircondition, staff was super friendly and they were clear about timetables and etc. We got excellent customer service when we had some questions about our trip. They really seem to care about their business and making sure all their customers have excellent trip. I’d highly recommend them!

Fantastic! The boat was beautiful and the facilities on board were immaculate and the staff were extremely helpful especially as I'm disabled. Lindos was stunning though only my 2 youngest went up to the actual village as too much of a trek for me. Beautiful beach and the water was warm, I loved it there The 2 bays we went to Tsambiki Bay and Anthony Quinn Bay were fabulous, I was so sad when we had to leave them and get back on the boat to go back to our embarkation port. An experience to treasure and remember.

Brilliant service & wonderful people who own the business. I was welcomed by Manos & his lovely wife. Our trip was great with swimming stops along the way my teenage daughter thoroughly enjoyed it. If you are looking for excursions within Rhodes I would highly recommend this company. I am going back there today to do the lindos trip by sunset.

Very enjoyable, bus pick up and drop off was fine . The top deck filled up quick so get there early if you want a bean bag to sit on. The beanbags are quite close and opposite other people so you couldn’t stretch your legs if your opposite someone. Stop off for the swimming was long enough. Lindos was very beautiful and very hot. We sat in the lower deck for shade on the way back. Would recommend if you want to see Lindos
