This is a fantastic villa with private pool, it has everything you need for a relaxing family holiday in Kolymbia. The best things were the pool, the bbq area (though we didn’t use), the outside seating, the spaciousness inside and out, the 3 showers and outside shower, the air con, the friendly rep that met us on first night, the cleanliness and wine and water in fridge were nice touches. The beds are comfy and super king sized and there’s a double sofa bed. The cooker top is electric and takes a while to heat things up but you can find local places to eat out inexpensively daily and supermarkets are comparatively pricy! We bought lots of fruits, yoghurts, honey, cereals and breads for good breakfasts at home before heading out for the day most days although staying home on sun-beds and pool is also great.
There are so many things to do and places to eat local Greek cuisine and drink locally (eucalyptus st, Luxemburg st), highly recommend fresh sea bream in Michel’s Taverna, and gyros/souvlaki on main road, although to make the most of the island, hiring a car is advised for going further afield and can be parked just outside villa. It’s 30 min drive from airport. The best homemade Greek ice cream and waffles can be found about 10 min walk away at Gelato Di Bello. They also make Greek yoghurt ice cream with honey and walnuts or orange which is incredible, and lemon crepes!
We visited the delightful Old Town, a lovely local Rhodes outdoor market, the large water park in Faliraki, which was fantastic for our 2 boys age 11 & 9 and the adults! Lindos (5-10 min walk to top/acropolis or donkey ride but the donkeys look v tired) and beautiful St. Paul’s Bay, Tsambika beach (favourite), kolymbia beach, Ladiko beach and Anthony Quinn bay (take a snorkel or skuba dive) and the bee museum, well worth a visit. Sea very clear and warm enough to get used to within a few seconds! Magical. Lots of memories. Thanks for a lovely holiday, hope to return!
