Symi, Greek island

.

A Fairytale-like island

While approaching the port of Symi, one has the overwhelming feeling of entering a perfectly painted image of a scenic traditional village. As a rule, people remain agape and cannot take their eyes off the spectacular sight. A galore of two and three-storey traditional stone houses, painted in all colours but mostly in indigo, ochre and terracotta, with red tiled roofs and cute little balconies with railings set up the peculiarity of the island.

Lindos Acropolis, where history and mythology come to life.

I want to share with you all about one of the most breathtaking places I've ever been to - Lindos Acropolis on the Greek island of Lindos in the Dodecanese.

Perched atop a hill overlooking the Aegean Sea, the Lindos Acropolis is an ancient citadel that dates back to the 4th century BC. It's a place steeped in history and mythology, and walking through its ruins, you can't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder.

According to legend, the Acropolis was once the home of the mythological Lindian Athena, who was said to have protected the city from enemy invasions.

As you make your way up the hill to the Acropolis, you'll be greeted by the stunning Doric temple dedicated to Athena Lindia, considered one of the best-preserved temples in Greece. The temple dates back to the 3rd century BC. It is a testament to the skill and artistry of the ancient Greek architects and sculptors.

Once you reach the top of the hill, you'll be treated to panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and the surrounding countryside. The Lindos Acropolis is surrounded by a fortified wall, which gives you a sense of how important this site was to the ancient Lindians. The ruins of the ancient houses and buildings are scattered throughout the area, providing a glimpse into what life was like in this ancient city.

It's a place that will leave you in awe of the beauty and history of Greece. And remember to bring your camera, because the views are truly breathtaking.
