Beaches around Kolymbia

Kolymbia beach

It is a beautiful long pebbly-sandy shore segment in Kolymbia. We particularly recommend it for families with children because of the slowly-deepening waters. Most of the beach is well-organised with a lot of sunshades and loungers. The beach – surrounded by wonderful verdant trees – has become very popular among the visitors of the island who can also choose from a wide variety of watersport activities here.

Tsambika beach

Tsambika, the southern neighbour of Kolymbia, is a partly-organised sandy beach; lying in front of Tsambika Monastery, it offers the opportunity to enjoy the sunshine in a calm environment. Adrenaline junkies can also try several watersports on the beach.

Afandou beach

This well-organised pebbly beach can be found north of Kolymbia. There are dozens of watersport activities with rental options to choose from. During the main season, the beach is fairly crowded with beach-goers. As the water deepens rapidly in these parts, we recommend it for experienced swimmers.
