Getting There and When to Go

Getting to your resort is straightforward, with regular transfers available from the airport. The best time to visit is during the shoulder months of May, June, September, and October. During these periods, the heat is manageable, the Mediterranean sun is still out in force, and the beaches are less crowded than during the peak of the school summer holidays. Even in the heat of July and August, the coastal breeze keeps the temperature at a level that is perfect for sunbathing.

Beaches and Resort Character

The character of Kolymbia is defined by its coastal appeal. The beaches here offer a mix of sand and pebbles, with crystal-clear waters that are excellent for swimming and snorkelling. Unlike some of the more intense party resorts on Rhodes, Kolymbia maintains a more refined, family-friendly pace. You will find that most of the leisure time is centred around the hotels and the beach, providing a seamless experience for those looking for a stress-free holiday where everything is within easy reach.

Food and Things to Do

A holiday in this part of Rhodes is really about embracing the 'slow' life. During the day, you can enjoy various watersports or simply hire a sunbed and lose yourself in a good book. As the sun sets, the local area becomes a lovely place for a stroll. The dining scene is dominated by fresh, local Greek flavours; expect plenty of grilled fish, olive oil, and fresh vegetables. If you fancy a change of pace, the broader island of Rhodes offers plenty of opportunities for day trips, whether you want to explore the historic old town areas or simply find a quiet cove along the coast.
