Kolymbia

Rhodes, Greece

If you've come to Rhodes to relax, to escape, to recharge then Kolympia will welcome you with open arms.

Kolympia is Faliriki's quiet cousin. Even at the height of summer, you'll find it a little more laid-back than the other resorts.

Most famous for its 2km eucalyptus lined avenue leading to the bay and its tidy, well-organised pebble beach, Kolympia offers simple pleasures and a friendly atmosphere. During your stay, you should visit the Contemporary Art Artistic Village and the Folklore Museum to immerse yourself in the local history and culture. Only 6km away is the stunning Paramythia Monastery, well worth a morning trip before that all-important few hours of doing nothing under the sun.
