On the island of Rhodes in a small laid-back resort town called Kolympia is this beautiful iconic white-washed villa situated against ocean blues, between the mountains, and above shingle beaches. Irida has a classic islander vibe with a modern twist and overhangs the beach, with an infinity pool that spills into the ocean scenery. Sip on a frothy Greek coffee while lounging in the sun and watching the children play in the separate kid’s pool. With direct access to the beach, escape to the sand and watch the waves deep into the afternoon. When the day blissfully and lazily escapes to night, rinse off in the outdoor shower before the entire family or group of friends gathers around the al frecso dining area whilst waiting for local fare to cook on the barbeque. Before bed, star gaze from the jacuzzi and listen to the waves. For the adventure-inclined, the other areas of Rhodes are within a short distance. Kolympia itself is long sought-after by families due to its relaxed and organized beaches and easy access to quaint tavernas to amen for truly authentic Greek island experience.

About Kolymbia
Not that long ago, Kolymbia was little more than a collection of farmhouses. Today, it's a laid-back, beachside sanctuary tucked away from the party atmosphere of some other parts of Rhodes. The town is built around a broad eucalyptus-lined avenue (aptly named Eucalyptus Street), which houses souvenir shops and restaurants.
