Mansions with history
Lindos village has its own unique character with the white houses beneath the Acropolis. But what truly catches the attention of any visitor are the famous mansions, with their date of construction being engraved in their front doors. Some of these beautiful houses have been converted to luxury apartments, restaurants and cafes. Those mansions belonged to the captains of the 17th-18th century.
