- • Rent car or scooter - beaches and villages spread across island, public buses limited to main routes
- • Lindos donkey rides controversial - consider walking uphill to acropolis (20 minutes, good exercise)
- • Valley of Butterflies best visited June-September when Jersey Tiger Moths present
- • Book Lindos accommodation early if staying overnight - picturesque but fills up quickly in summer
