About this audio guide
This guide climbs the hill of Lindos on Rhodes, starting at the foot of the steps where the stern of a warship is cut into the rock. It follows the stairway up through a long Hellenistic colonnade toward a small temple of Athena perched high above the sea, and asks what the place looked like to those who came with offerings. Listen as you climb, and save the last stretch for the top.
