The Aegean Islands region
Rhodes is well known for its sunny climate. Blessed by the sun god Helios, it boasts an average of 300 days of sunshine per year. The island is said to have risen from the sea and on its highest mountain peaks sea shells have been found. The island enjoys a healthy economy, mainly due to tourism. Despite this, the friendliness of the people has not been compromised in any way and it is often the first impression on any visitor, even if they are regular travellers to Greece.
The east coast of the island offers mile upon mile of glorious beaches easily accessible and most with facilities. The west coast is mountainous and rugged, a lush green forest of vegetation and always cooler than its eastern sister. From certain points on the west coast you command excellent views to the neighbouring islands of Halki and Symi, even the coastline of Turkey is visible. Mountain villages offer wineries, local crafts such as rug weaving and local produce such as honey and Souma are readily available.
The capital of the island is a divided city, the old medievil city of Rhodes is enclosed within the original fortress and it always amazes people that the city is still very much occupied, although now by locals instead of Turks or Knights! At the southernmost extreme the point of Prassonissi is a natural wonder with a long sand bank dividing the seas of the wavy Aegean and the smooth Mediterranean before they merge together at the tip. Traditional villages scattered amoungst olive groves and tourist resorts, amazing beaches, a rich local history from the knights of the crusades to Turkish and Italian occupation, ruined castles and our own Acropolis at the pretty village of Lindos. Not to forget the shopping in the New town Rhodes has something for every holidaymakers wish!

Kolymbia is a picturesque town between mountain and sea, a sun-soaked spot with a superb beach for watersports, a handful of shops and a huge dose of peace and quiet - If you're looking for any or all of these for your holidays, then Kolymbia is the ideal destination.
Kolymbia lies on the northeast coast of the island of Rhodes and is ideal for those in search of a quiet spot in which to relax and soak up the sun.
