Kolymbia holiday resort
Kolymbia is one of the nicest holiday resorts in Rhodes. It is known for its very long avenue of eucalyptus trees, along which you’ll find a lot of shops, cafés and restaurants. In the evening, Kolymbia is full of life, especially at the outdoor cafés, and even later, the night life is in full swing.
From Kolymbia there are great opportunities for excursions. Everyone should visit the wonderful natural beach of Tsambika, located just 2 kilometres southwest of Kolymbia. For those renting a car, the historic city of Lindos is less than half an hour away. Towering high above Lindos is the Acropolis defence structure.
