The small village of Kolymbari is located on the northern coast of Crete. Kolymbari is a former trading and fishing town that now mostly thrives on tourism. Despite this, it retains its authentic Cretan charm. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, with beautiful beaches nearby where you can unwind and enjoy the sun and sea.
In the village, you'll find several historic buildings, shops, tavernas, cafes, and unique restaurants serving delicious traditional dishes. The hotels are exclusive and known for their excellent service. Just outside the village, in nearby areas, there are popular beaches where you can set up your umbrella, relax on the soft sand dunes (or sunbeds), and soak up the sun. Equipment for various water activities and sports, such as snorkeling, diving, water skiing, and jet skiing, is available for rent. This makes Kolymbari a perfect destination where you can enjoy peaceful accommodation while still being close to livelier beaches.
While Kolymbari doesn't offer extensive shopping or a large nightlife scene, it’s easy to reach more bustling areas by bus or car. There are good bus connections between Kolymbari and surrounding towns.
