“Lindos is its rock". This rock, which rises to 116 m, forms the finishing touch to the landscape of Lindos, standing dry and imposing in its bareness and surrounded on all sides by the sea, so that Lindos "may rejoice in the ocean", in the words of a Hellenistic epigram.Lindos does not seem to have been particularly important in the earlier perids, though sporadic finds of the Neolithic period and the Bronze Age have been dicovered on the acropolis. According to legend, the foundation of the sanctuary of Athena Lindia goes back to the Mycenaean period, and rich Mycenaean finds have been yielded by cemeteries in the broader area of Lindos.
