How to avoid the worst of it today

Beat the cruise wave through the gates. On a heavy day the old town's rhythm is set by the port: groups pour up the Street of the Knights from mid-morning. At nine the same cobbles are yours, and the Palace opens without a line. In a walled town, the gates are the whole story — get inside before the wave and the walls work for you, not against you.
Choose your Lindos hours deliberately. If Lindos is today, make it dawn or late afternoon — the lane system and the acropolis steps punish midday twice, with crowds and with heat. If you can't pick the hour, pick another day.
Spend the peak in the lanes the groups never find. Two streets off the old town spine, the crowd vanishes: quiet courtyards, Ottoman balconies, workshops. Lunch deep in the lanes, then surface for the Palace or the walls as the groups drain back to the ships.

Where the crowds are

The Street of the Knights & the near gates: The cruise corridor from port to Palace — the island's densest cobbles by mid-morning.
Lindos: One narrow lane system plus coach waves plus heat; midday compounds all three.

Quiet places in Rhodes

The old town's back lanes: Two streets from the spine, the medieval town goes quiet.
The moat walk: The green circuit under the walls, missed by nearly everyone.
