Nightlife in Lindos Lardos and Pefkos

Lindos

Restaurants Lindos

Med East is, in our opinion, the best restaurant in Lindos. The food is excellent, very Mediterranean but with different dishes to all the rest. The ambience is always superb, very laid back, and the views of the acropolis are stunning. Some of the dishes served are, Steak with melted cheese & bacon and a slice of pineapple in a dark cherry sauce.,Steak in a Madagascan green pepper sauce, Chicken in an orange and cream sauce,Chicken in a mango and cream sauce,Lamb in lemon, Steak served with garlic butter,Coq au Vin. Manolis always offers a friendly and warm welcome and the music is very ambient and atmospheric it makes for a romantic meal. This is now becoming a very popular venue for wedding receptions so is worth booking in advance.

Skala

Dionyssis is also excellent, the food here is expensive but both the menus and interior decor are far superior to most of the Lindos restaurants. Ambrosia offers a good selection of Greek traditional dishes with lovely views ofthe Acropolis from the rooftop taverna. Mythos, just off the main square, serves a good selection of traditional Greek food including mixed Greek plates and meat and fish platters to share. The rooftop is partly built into a rockface, combining romantic lighting with stunning views of Lindos. Agostinos situated just below lindos reception has lovely rooftop with views over Lindos worth a meal, try the traditional dishes and the Octopus in a chilli tomato sauce is a must.

Greek night at Oasis Taverna Lindos

Skala, on Pallas beach,serves lovely food on the beachfront, and usually hosts a weekly barbecue with an excellent

choice of meats and salads for a fixed price, Oasis Taverna in Lindos offers really good food

with excellent views they hold a greek night every friday worth a visit. Pallestra is situated in the far corner of Lindos main beach and offers superb views of the acropolis and Lindos Bay, they serve excellent seafood and Mezes, Lindos has as varied a nightlife as it does dining scene. You can chill out in a traditional courtyard, watch big screen sports or party away till the early hours!

SPORTS BARS

Many bars now offer big screen football and major sporting events but there are two main sports bars in Lindos.

GIORGOS (opposite Ambrosia restaurant). This is the first major sports bar in Lindos, they have a big screen and TVs allover, there's even one in the floor! Giorgos (and Giorgos 2 on the smal beach) offers a vast choice of beers very much catering to the british market.

RED ROSE (Lindos main street). This bar has a alot of outside seating on the front terrace with big screen.

BARS TO RELAX/CHILL OUT

Even many of the livelier music bars have quieter outside terraces but some of the nicer bars to just relax and take in the views are

CAPTAINS HOUSE (walk past Museum Bar and follow signs for the Acropolis). This is a traditional Lindian Captains House with the main bar situated in the front courtyard. Very atmospheric and a good place for pre dinner drinks.

RAINBIRD BAR (off to the left on the road to the small/pallas beach). Boasts the best views in Lindos and a nice place to rest for a beer after your walk up from the beach.

LINDOS BY NIGHT (down the road from Courtyard Bar). The inside bar of Lindos By Night can get quite lively but for a relaxing night with views over the village towards the Acropolis take a seat in one of the pretty garden terraces.

YANNIS BAR (on a corner as you turn from the main street towards Lindos Reception). Situated on a very busy corner and one of the best places in Lindos if you enjoy a bit of people watching.

MUSIC BARS

Many bars worth visting but this list covers a few as you walk down from Lindos Reception/Top Car Park.

60S BAR. Not only 60s music as the DJ does tend to play to the crowd. Can get quite lively, especially when they're in a party atmosphere and setting fire to the bar!

DREAMS BAR. A small bar run by a mother and son duo. Keen to get everyone in the party spirit they often bring out the fancy dress box and mum has everybody up dancing.

SOCRATES. The owner Socrates is well known in Lindos and you'll often see him at the small beach during the day. The music here isn't the chart stuff you'll here in most of the bars and tends to be more rock - in fact Socrates is one of the people behind the 'Rhodes Rock' festival.

KARMA (on a small side street off to the left). Nice little bar and something different being the only Reggae bar in Lindos.

ANTIKA. One of the smartest bars in Lindos with glass bar, white leather chairs and uber cool music to match the decor.

MANOLIS - ZOUK BAR. Manolis has been in Lindos for many years though they moved to this spot a few years back. The bar still has an old olive press in the centre that often gets used for a bit of impromptu podium dancing!

COURTYARD (past Kalypso). Great Lindian decor with a dancefloor and DJ. As well as the inside main bar there's a courtyard and bar/roof terrace upstairs. Greek Night with live Bouzouki greek music and dancing every Sunday.

IKON. Now run by Michalis (formerly of Lindos By Night) this small but stylish bar is now a lot livelier than it was and even has a saxophonist playing the odd night.

Other bars you'll come across in the village are ATMOSPHERE, COLOSSUS, LINDIAN HOUSE, 404, PALS, NIKO'S BAR, MUSEUM BAR, SINATRA'S, APOLLO AND SUNBURNT ARMS.

NIGHTCLUBS

There are 5 nightclubs in Lindos though the ones in the centre are soundproofed and are unobtrusive if that's not your thing.

NIGHT LIFE (opposite Courtyard Bar). Not the smartest club in Lindos but they do have BAR CODE next door which is a good late night (or rather, early morning!) bar offering good food all night.

QUPI (behind Courtyard Bar). An old favourite that re-opened in 2005. Seems to go in and out of favour a bit but definitely worth checking out.

ARCHES (small road opposite Yannis Bar). One of the most popular clubs in Lindos, you'll find Arches busy even in low season as it's popular with locals.

ACROPOLIS (on the road from the main square to the beach). The only open air club actually in Lindos but for some reason it doesn't seem to open every year.

AMPHITHEATRE (free taxis from the main square, it's up on a hill above the village). Smart open air club with great views as it's on what many call 'ooh aah corner'. A huge space, it takes some filling but has a great atmosphere peak season.
