A Medieval Moonlit Night in Lindos

One night in June 1400AD the grand master Jean Bonpar de Lastic arrived in Lindos with his wife, ostensibly to check the progress of maintenance work on the castle. But what he was more concerned about was protecting the island of Kastelorizo from the Egyptian fleet, and he was here to recruit!

On the evening of Sunday, 17 June 2012, the people of Lindos celebrated the knight's visit with street performances, live music, and free wine and ouzo. Most of the townsfolk seemed to be in costume, and a great time was had by all.

The taxi back to Pefkos cost us only €8.
