Getting There and When to Go

This convenience makes it a popular option for those travelling with younger children who prefer to keep travel times to a minimum.

The best time to visit is during the shoulder seasons of May and June or September and October if you prefer slightly cooler temperatures and fewer crowds. However, for those who love the heat, July and August deliver consistent, bright sunshine, perfect for making the most of the pool and the beach.

Food, Activities, and Who It Suits

Life in Kolymbia revolves around simple pleasures. You will find plenty of opportunities to sample local Greek cuisine, from fresh grilled fish to classic salads and local specialities. Evenings are often spent enjoying a slow meal at a taverna or taking a quiet stroll along the coast.

For those looking for a little more activity, the region is excellent for watersports and exploring the surrounding eastern coastline. If you prefer a bit of history, the wider island of Rhodes offers easy day-trip opportunities to explore old-town streets and ancient architecture, providing a nice contrast to the beach-focused days in Kolymbia.
