Kolymbia isn’t a place you come to tick things off a list. It’s a place you stay when you want warm air, space to breathe, and days that unfold slowly without feeling like you need to spend lots of money to enjoy yourself.

During our two times staying here, especially when travelling as a family, we realised that some of the best moments in Kolymbia cost absolutely nothing. Walking, swimming, watching light change, and simply noticing what’s around you become the highlights.

If you’re visiting Rhodes outside peak summer, particularly after reading about why Rhodes works so well in October, Kolymbia really comes into its own. Here are the best free things to do in Kolymbia, based on how we spent our days.

White Rock Beach in Kolymbia Rhodes

Kolymbia Beach and White Rock Beach in Rhodes: What to Expect Before You Go

Published on by VictoriaLeave a comment

Kolymbia Beach, sometimes written Kolimbia, is one of the most accessible beaches on Rhodes if you are staying in Kolymbia itself. It is long, easy to reach, and lined by hotels and organised beach areas.

Next to it, at the far end, is White Rock Beach, a smaller, quieter stretch under Tsambika mountain. The two beaches sit side by side but are separated by water so you cannot walk along the sand from one to the other, although you can swim between them.

We have visited both more than once and each has its own atmosphere. Kolymbia Beach has more facilities, watersports and a restaurant overlooking the sea. White Rock Beach feels more tucked away and peaceful, almost hidden at the end of the bay. If you like a beach that has variety, these two are a great combination for dipping in and out of during your holiday.
