Kolymbia is a coastal village on the east side of the island of Rhodes, Greece. It is located about 25 km south of Rhodes Town, between the popular resorts of Faliraki and Lindos, making it a convenient base for exploring the island.
Kolymbia is best known for its wide, straight eucalyptus-lined road, which leads from the main highway down toward the sea and gives the village its distinctive character. Originally developed during the Italian period in the early 20th century as an agricultural settlement, Kolymbia later evolved into a relaxed holiday village.
The village combines a quiet, laid-back atmosphere with tourist-friendly amenities. It has a small center with shops, cafés, and tavernas, while still feeling less crowded than larger resorts. Behind the village, low green hills and farmland create a pleasant natural backdrop.
Kolymbia is close to several beautiful beaches, offering a mix of sandy and pebbled shores with clear waters. Its central position on the east coast also makes it ideal for day trips to places such as Lindos, Rhodes Old Town, and the Seven Springs area.
Overall, Kolymbia offers a balanced mix of calm village life and easy access to beaches and attractions, making it popular with visitors who want a peaceful stay without being far from Rhodes’ highlights.
