How Delivery Works in Lindos
Delivery and collection are free of charge. Lindos village is pedestrian-only, so vehicles cannot enter it: we hand over your car at your hotel entrance or at an agreed meeting point on the main approach road, whichever is closest and legally accessible for your accommodation. Your reservation confirmation includes the exact handover point and time.
Bring the driving licence and passport or ID of every authorised driver — paperwork takes only a few minutes. Parking availability changes during the day and is busiest in summer; for the main approach, beach-side and St Paul’s Bay options, see our guide to where to park in Lindos.
