Kolympia Ellios is around 450m from the golden Kolympia Beach, while Tsampika Beach is about 3km away. With its fine, white sands, this particular beach is a favourite of many, and is well equipped for water-sports and sunbathing, with loungers and umbrellas for hire. There are also taverns and snack bars nearby.
The village of Kolympia also has good amenities within a short walk. Many of the bars, restaurants, shops and other services are based around nearby Eucalyptus Street.
All the popular attractions of Rhodes are within easy driving distance of Kolympia. The village is around 13 minutes’ drive from Faliraki where there is plenty to entertain kids, while stunning Lindos, site of the Lindos Acropolis, is about 24 minutes away. Especially close are the spectacular Epta Piges, or Seven Springs, a really beautiful area of nature known for its seven wonderful waterfalls.
You will be around 30 minutes from the capital, where the medieval Old Town of Rhodes and the Palace of the Grand Masters draw the crowds. The nearby Elli Beach is well worth a visit – and there are many more along the way.
