Kolymbia (Kolympia) is a place perfect for a quiet family vacation.

To enter Kolymbia (Kolympia) you come along a fresh, lush green Eucalyptus Road. This road was built by the Italians also.
Kolymbia (Kolympia) is a fairly discreet coastal resort, and does not provide the ostentatious luxury of Ixia or the frenzied activity of Faliraki. The hotels here are set well apart, and there are only a hand-ful of

a few well-run restaurants and tavernas, a shopping centre with more or less anything you need (mini markets, bakeries, patisseries and cash machines) - these are the main features of what is in fact the most contemporary and stylish tourist resort on Rhodes. Kiotari has grown up over the last ten years along an impressive, vast beach, but does not suffer from the same tourist saturation which has negatively affected many of the other traditional resorts of Rhodes.
You will find no real community here, just shops and hotels, most of which operate the all-inclusive system, and thus their guests spend almost the whole of their days within the hotel's facilities and on their private beaches.
