Lindos & Seven Springs tour from Rhodes: full-day guided route

Walk through a dark tunnel to a hidden green lake fed by seven mountain springs.

A full-day guided tour from Rhodes takes you to Lindos, the island's most visited village, then to Seven Springs natural park. You spend 3.5 hours in Lindos exploring the Acropolis and white-washed streets at your own pace, with time to swim in the golden sand beach. After lunch, an escort leads you through the spring-fed park, walking beside the stream and through a tunnel to reach the green lake where you can photograph the waterfall and drink from the springs. Hotel pickup is included; the tour runs 6 to 7 hours total.

The Experience

The journey starts with pickup from your hotel on Rhodes' west coast and a drive of roughly 50 minutes to an hour toward Lindos, with a brief stop at a panoramic viewpoint for photographs before you arrive. Lindos is the most visited place on the island—the white village, the castle and the Acropolis of Lindos are the main draws—and you get about 3.5 hours to build your own day there. If you want to enter the archaeological site (the Acropolis and temple of Athena Lindia), admission is 12 euros for adults and free for children under 18; EU citizens under 25 also enter free. The golden sand beach at Lindos is right there if you want to swim.

After Lindos, the tour moves to Seven Springs (Epta Piges), a natural park in the interior where an escort walks with you through the grounds. You follow a path beside a stream, walk in the spring water itself, and pass through a dark tunnel carved into the rock that opens onto a green lake fed by the seven springs. The waterfall and the tunnel are the centerpieces—you can take photographs and drink directly from the springs. The park sits among giant trees with the sound of water running through it; the operator notes that certain parts may be steep or uneven for those with walking difficulties. You return to your hotel with the air-conditioned bus.

Top questions

How much time do I actually get to spend in Lindos?

Lindos gives you about 3.5 hours free time, which is enough to see the Acropolis, walk the white village streets and swim in the beach without rushing. Entry to the archaeological site costs 12 euros for adults (free for children under 18 and EU citizens under 25) if you choose to go inside.

What is the Seven Springs natural park actually like to walk through?

Seven Springs is a park built around a stream and seven mountain springs. You walk on a path beside the water, wade through the spring itself, and pass through a dark tunnel in the rock that leads to a green lake with a waterfall. The ground is uneven in places and the path follows the stream closely, so it is not suitable for wheelchairs or severe walking difficulties.

What time does the tour pick me up and when do I get back to my hotel?

Pickup happens from your hotel on Rhodes' west coast; the exact time depends on which hotel you are staying at. The full tour runs 6 to 7 hours, so you leave in the morning and return in the afternoon or early evening.

Is lunch included in this tour?

Lunch is not included. You have free time in Lindos where you can eat at a taverna, and the operator mentions a traditional taverna at Seven Springs with tables under the trees by the water, but you pay for your own meal.

Can I bring small children or infants on this tour?

Infants and small children can come; infants can ride in a pram or stroller, or sit on an adult's lap. The tour is suitable for all fitness levels, though some parts of Seven Springs park may be difficult if walking is hard for you.

Do I need to pay extra to enter the Acropolis at Lindos?

Yes, entry to the Acropolis and archaeological site costs 12 euros for adults. Children under 18 enter free, as do EU citizens under 25. This is optional—you can spend your 3.5 hours in Lindos exploring the village and beach instead.
