Lindos Rocks 2026
Greek Night In Lardos
2026
You do not need to book, we do recommend arriving earlier to find a great spot to watch. Taxis will be available to come back to Pefkos but be advised, you might need to wait a while to return. Why not have a drink in many different locations around the square!
TBA
It is advisable to eat early (around 7pm) in one of the local restaurants (pre booking is advised)
You can not see the dancing from the restaurant’s so after dinner make your way to the main square where the bars have tables outside.
Busses do not stop in the village on Greek nights, they stop on the main road past Lárdos. Taxi may be more convenient. There may be a wait for taxis when it is finished as it gets very busy. We normally have a few more drinks until the queue goes down.
You can find taxi info on our website.
