Travel Vixta

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.

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.
