Kolymbia is located not far away from a bit more reknown resort of Faliraki. Just as Faliraki it is crammed with hotels, bars and restaurants. Just as the rest of the island of Rhodes it boasts a beautiful beach. And yet, local people never fail to properly use eir hoses to water lawns and flowers. Every detail of a village seems to be crucial when it comes down to attracting possible tourists.
What does beckon tourists to visit the place? It is undeniably more peaceful and quiet than situated 15 km northwards Faliraki, so that it applies to those who seek a place to wind down and have a rest. There are two bays in the vicinity of the village: both surrounded by sandy and a bit gravelled in some places. Waters are clear and not rough. Yet what is the most known fact about the village are not the beaches, nor tavernas or restaurants. There is an alley of eucalyptuses: plants that are not so common here, as they grow wild only in Australia. Their scent provides Kolymbia with inimitable atmosphere. It is also so with innumerable toms that live in Kolymbia. Toms here, toms there, seeking a nice catkin. During spring their neverending dates may drive visitors not used to constant hearing of their miaows crazy.
