Quite a warm walk up to the Acropolis of Lindos this afternoon ๐Ÿ›๏ธ

A couple is standing next to a stone wall overlooking a scenic coastal view. The woman is holding a round bag and wearing a patterned top and shorts, while the man is wearing a cap, sunglasses, and a striped shirt. Ancient ruins with tall stone columns and a partially standing wall under a clear blue sky. A person stands next to a small tree amidst rocky terrain. Ancient Greek ruins with tall columns and stone steps under a clear blue sky. Two people are sitting on the steps, and a few figures are visible on a higher level in the background.

Thank goodness for the tiny St Paulโ€™s Beach, the only beach in Lindos not packed with sunbeds ๐Ÿ๏ธ

A sunny beach scene with people swimming and relaxing on the sand. There's a rocky shoreline and clear blue water. Boats are anchored in the bay, and potted plants are on the beach. The backdrop features rocky hills under a clear sky.
