Lindos Private Cruise from Rhodes

A private cruise to Lindos is the most iconic day on the Rhodes coast. Seen from the water, the ancient Acropolis crowns its headland above two perfect bays, and the whitewashed village spills down the hillside beneath it – a view you simply cannot get from the tour bus. On a private yacht you trace the east coast at your own pace, dropping anchor for a swim below the Acropolis and in St Paul’s Bay, the natural harbour where the sea glows turquoise between the rocks.

There is no better vantage point on the Lindos Acropolis than the deck of a yacht anchored in St Paul’s Bay. The near-enclosed cove has calm, shallow, brilliantly clear water – ideal for swimming and snorkelling – with the floodlit citadel rising directly above. We linger here while the day-trip boats come and go, so you get the classic photograph and the swim without the scramble.

The sail down to Lindos is half the pleasure. We can pause at the golden sweep of Tsambika Beach, the sheltered emerald water of Anthony Quinn Bay, and quiet coves that have no road to them at all. Because the cruise is private, the mix is up to you – more swimming, a longer stop ashore in Lindos village, or a slow cruise back along the coast as the light softens.

Lindos cruise questions

Can we go ashore in Lindos village?

Yes. We can anchor so you have time to go ashore and walk up to Lindos village and the Acropolis, then return to the yacht for lunch and a swim. Let us know and we will build it into the day.

How long is the private cruise to Lindos?

A full-day Lindos cruise typically runs for six to eight hours, allowing time for several swim stops along the east coast as well as St Paul's Bay. Shorter half-day options are also available.

Is St Paul's Bay good for swimming?

Very much so. St Paul's Bay is a near-enclosed cove with calm, shallow, clear water, making it one of the best and most scenic swim and snorkel stops on the whole island.
