Althea Apartments

Althea Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Althea Apartments in Kolimbia, you immediately get that feeling — you know, when you realize you’ve actually picked well for once. This four-star property sits perfectly positioned on Parisíon Street, and honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering. The building has this clean, modern Greek aesthetic that doesn’t try too hard, which I appreciate. There’s something refreshing about a place that lets the natural beauty of Rhodes speak for itself rather than competing with it.

The Location Magic

Here’s what I love about Kolimbia — it’s got that sweet spot vibe where you’re close enough to everything but not drowning in tourist chaos. The beach is literally a few minutes’ walk away, and I mean the kind of beach where locals actually go, not just the tour bus crowds. You’ve got the famous Anthony Quinn Bay nearby (about 10 minutes by car), and if you’re into exploring, the ancient city of Lindos is totally doable as a day trip. The fact that couples rate this location 9.0 out of 10 makes complete sense when you’re actually here — there’s something romantic about having easy access to both secluded coves and charming tavernas.

Your Home Base

The apartment setup here is what really sets Althea apart from typical hotel stays. Each unit comes with a proper kitchen, which honestly saves you so much money when you’re traveling — plus there’s something nice about making your morning coffee exactly how you like it. The room layouts are thoughtfully designed, giving you actual living space rather than just a place to crash. I particularly appreciated the balconies; most units have views that make you want to linger over breakfast instead of rushing out to sightsee.

The Practical Stuff That Matters

Let’s talk about the things that can make or break a stay — parking here is free and private, which if you’ve ever tried to park in Greek coastal towns, you’ll know is basically gold. The staff genuinely seems to care about helping you figure out the area, not just checking you in and disappearing. WiFi actually works (I know, revolutionary), and the air conditioning doesn’t sound like a helicopter landing on your roof. These might seem like small things, but they’re the difference between a good trip and one where you’re constantly dealing with annoying little problems.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.6 rating isn’t just numbers on a screen — you feel it when you’re here. There’s this relaxed efficiency to everything, where things just work without drama. The combination of independence (thanks to the apartment-style setup) and support (helpful staff, great location) hits that perfect balance most travelers are actually looking for. You’re not paying for unnecessary frills, but you’re also not sacrificing comfort or convenience. For couples especially, there’s something appealing about having your own space to retreat to after days of exploring, plus the location gives you options whether you want romantic dinners or adventure-filled days.

Locals suggest to book apartments in Rhodes around New Market for fishmongers, pastry kiosks, and ferry sunsets.
