Tsambika Beach Rhodes Review: Family Friendly, Naturist Section And What To Expect

Our first glimpse of Tsambika Beach came in 2024 when we climbed Tsambika Mountain from the Kolymbia side. From the top we could see a long curved stretch of golden sand with bright turquoise sea and shallow water glistening below.

It looked untouched, natural and peaceful with no buildings lining the coastline, only sun loungers and, at the time, a large inflatable aquapark floating in the sea.

We didn’t have enough time to visit that year, so we made sure it was one of the first places on our list when we returned to Rhodes in 2025, with the hope of exploring the beach and the aquapark we had seen!

Lindos Acropolis Review: Ancient Ruins & Breathtaking Views Above Lindos

When we visited Lindos, I knew I wanted to see the Acropolis of Lindos, one of the most famous landmarks on Rhodes.

From the village below, it towers above the whitewashed rooftops, perched high on the rocky hill like something out of another world.

You can see it from almost everywhere in Lindos, and it feels impossible not to want to climb up and see it properly.

But visiting wasn’t as straightforward as I’d imagined.

St Paul’s Bay & Mikros Gialos Beach, Lindos

When we think back to our time in Lindos, one of the places that really stayed with us was St Paul’s Bay. Just below the whitewashed village, this small, horseshoe-shaped cove is one of the prettiest spots in all of Rhodes.

It’s where golden sand meets calm turquoise water, framed by rocky cliffs and overlooked by the Acropolis of Lindos above. And tucked inside the bay are two lovely beaches – Mikros Gialos Beach, lively and social, and Agios Pavlos Beach, smaller and more peaceful beside the chapel.

We didn’t have time for a full beach day here, but after passing the bay twice on our way to and from Lindos, we knew it was somewhere we’d love to return to.

T-Veg Review: Vegan Lunch & Dinner With Rooftop Lindos Views

When we first planned to revisit Rhodes, I already knew I wanted to spend more time in Lindos. Not only to wander its maze of whitewashed streets and soak up the views, but also to find somewhere we could all enjoy eating together as a vegan family.

That’s how we discovered T-Veg – an entirely vegan restaurant right in the heart of Lindos, serving everything from plant-based Greek classics to smoothie bowls and pastas.

It quickly became one of our favourite places on the island. So much so that we went twice – once for lunch in the sunshine, and again for dinner under the glow of the Acropolis.

Read on for my T-Veg review, full of delicious suggestions and photos of our food and the amazing Lindos rooftop views!

Wandering The Streets Of Lindos, Rhodes

On our recent family holiday to Rhodes, we spent time exploring one of the island’s most famous and picturesque spots – Lindos. Last year, we only passed by it by boat, gliding past the coastline from St Paul’s Bay on our way to Navarone Bay aboard the Hippo Submarine.

From the water, Lindos looked beautiful, stacked white buildings beneath an ancient acropolis on the hilltop. I knew then I wanted to return and explore it properly on foot one day.

Exploring Seven Springs (Epta Piges) in Rhodes: Waterfalls, Wildlife & The Tunnel Walk

On our recent family holiday to Kolymbia in Rhodes, we decided to visit a place called Seven Springs, or Epta Piges in Greek. I’d seen it mentioned when planning our trip but somehow forgotten about it until a waitress in Rhodes Old Town reminded me.

She asked where we were staying, and when I told her Kolymbia, she said, “Oh, have you been to Seven Springs? It’s nearby.” That was all the reminder I needed.

Back at our villa in Kolymbia, we looked it up on the map and realised it was just a short drive away, tucked into the foothills of the Tsambika mountain range. It was too close to miss.

Exploring Rhodes Old Town: Thoughts, Photos & Videos of This Incredible Medieval City

On our October trip to Rhodes, we finally made it to one of the places that had been at the top of our list since our first visit in 2024 – Rhodes Old Town.

Last year, during our one-week family holiday in Kolymbia, we ran out of time to explore the island’s capital. With school half term limiting our stay and wanting to balance pool and beach days with sightseeing, we simply couldn’t fit it in.

So when we returned to Rhodes in 2025, we had a list of must-sees ready. Right at the top was the ancient walled city – a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the oldest continuously inhabited medieval town in Europe.

Zen Club Luxury Villas Review, Kolymbia Rhodes: Our Stay At Villa Koan

If you’ve ever scrolled through villa photos and wondered whether a wide-angle lens is making everything look twice the size, you’re not alone.

That’s exactly what I thought when we booked Villa Koan at Zen Club Luxury Villas in Kolymbia, Rhodes. The villas looked incredibly modern and sleek, but I half expected them to feel a lot smaller in real life.

They didn’t.

When we arrived, we were genuinely amazed. Villa Koan felt even bigger and more impressive than the photos. Everything looked new, fresh and beautifully finished, and from that first step inside, we had the feeling we’d chosen somewhere special.

This review shares exactly what our stay was like, from the late-night arrival and first impressions to the bedrooms, bathrooms, pool, location and who I think this villa is best for.
