Kolympia Thalassa Greece

In the east coast village of Kolympia, this 2-bedroom villa offers all you need for a great holiday on Rhodes. With Tsampika Hill as a backdrop, Kolympia Thalassa is just a short journey from the idyllic Tsampika Beach and even closer to Kolympia Beach.
Complete with outdoor pool, this villa offers plenty of space to enjoy the sun. There’s a covered terrace with seating area, TV and dining space, as well as sun loungers beside the pool, lawned areas and a large barbecue.
The house offers fresh, modern accommodation, with everything on one level. Directly accessible from the terrace, there’s an open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area with seating for six. You have a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a comfy sofa and armchair, and air-conditioning. Your kitchen comes well equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, fridge freezer and coffee machine. Kolympia Thalasa also keeps you connected with free Wi-Fi access.
The two double bedrooms offer a large double bed, TV and an en suite bathroom with shower, and there’s plenty of storage space too. Two more guests will be comfy on the sofa-bed in the lounge.
Kolympia Thalassa is around 450m from the golden sands of Kolympia Beach, while Tsampika Beach is about 3km away. With fine, white sands, this beach is considered to be one of the finest on the island. It’s well equipped for water-sports and sunbathing, with loungers and umbrellas for hire. You won’t go hungry, or thirsty, with taverns and snack bars nearby.
Also within easy reach are all the restaurants, bars and shops of Kolympia village. There are numerous places to eat, as well as a supermarket, car hire, post office and other amenities. The village is also home to an interesting museum, the Rhodes Nature Folklore Museum.
Within around 13 minutes’ drive are the many family attractions of Faliraki, including water-parks and huge beach. Sophisticated Lindos, site of the Lindos Acropolis, is about 24 minutes away to the south of Kolympia, and the medieval Old Town of Rhodes is about 30 minutes to the north.
Especially close to the village are the spectacular Epta Piges, or Seven Springs, a stunning area of nature known for its seven wonderful waterfalls, just a 5-minute drive away.
The island of Rhodes has amazing surprises everywhere. It may be one of the largest Greek islands but it’s compact enough to see all the best bits in one trip.
The medieval Old Town is the highlight of the capital city, also called Rhodes. Located in the north east of the island, the city is well preserved but far from a relic. In fact, you’ll find it’s buzzing with life, with restaurants, bars and lots of shops lining its maze of streets.
The star attraction of the fortified town is the Palace of the Grand Masters. You can take a look inside at parts of this mighty fortress which has served all sorts of purposes over the years. Within the complex, you’ll find the Rhodes’ Archaeological Museum. The palace also regularly hosts various exhibitions and performances.
Take a walk around the scenic Mandraki Port while you’re there, or pay a visit to Rhodes Aquarium or Elli Beach – all are within easy walking distance. Landmarks like the Rhodes Acropolis and the Fort of St Nicholas are worth looking out for, and when you need a break, the lovely Rodini Park is a peaceful place to stop. The Museum of Modern Greek Art and the National Theatre provide an introduction to the local culture.
Rhodes city is also the centre of the island’s nightlife. The huge casino stays open late into the night, and there’s clubbing and lively bars on Orfanidou Street and, in the Old Town, Miltiadou Street. It’s worth looking into the best places to eat – as with any tourist-heavy city, there are disappointments to be had, but gems are there too. You will find an emphasis on seafood and traditional Greek fare at many establishments.
Outside the city, the island offers stunning countryside. The Valley of the Butterflies is one of the best-loved attractions, and is at its finest in the summer months. The Epta Piges (Seven Springs) are another highlight, with peaceful wooded areas, a lake and impressive waterfalls.
Further south, there’s Prasonisi, a great beach for water-sports, and the landmark lighthouse which sits right at the tip of the island. The beaches of the west coast also offer good conditions for sports like wind-surfing. Among the highlights of this quieter stretch are the remains of Kritinia Castle looking out into Aegean, and Kamiros Skala village with its abundance of fish restaurants. You can also take a boat trip to the neighbouring island of Chalki from here.
The whitewashed village of Lindos is known as a stylish spot, with its cool nightspots and rooftop restaurants. There are lovely beaches, particularly the charming St Paul’s Bay, but the big landmark is the Lindos Acropolis. Prepare yourself for a climb to reach it (as it stands high up on the cliffs), but the views are well worth it.
