The primary draw of Kolymbia is undoubtedly its stretch of coast.

The town itself has a relaxed, unhurried pace, perfect for slow mornings and lazy afternoons by the sea.

Getting There and When to Go

Flying from the UK to Rhodes is straightforward, with frequent seasonal flights landing at the island's main airport. From there, your transfer to Kolymbia is usually quick and efficient, getting you from the arrivals hall to your hotel pool in no time. The best time to visit is during the shoulder months of May, June, or September, when the weather is consistently warm but the peak summer crowds have thinned out. July and August offer the hottest temperatures, perfect for those who want to spend every waking hour in the water.

What to Do and Who It Suits

Kolymbia is best suited to travellers who want to unwind. While it may not be the nightlife capital of the island, it provides excellent opportunities for watersports and, of course, plenty of traditional Greek dining. There is something inherently relaxing about taking a stroll through the town centre in the evening, enjoying the cooling breeze and finding a local taverna for a quiet meal. It is an ideal spot for families who want a self-contained holiday where everything is close at hand, and for couples wanting a serene retreat from the stresses of daily life back home.
