Kolimbari (Kolymbari) is a small fishing village with a pebble beach at the foot of the Rohopou Peninsula. Even in the high season the beach has plenty of space and there are taverns, kiosks and some shops. The Moni Gonias Monastery (late middle ages) is the most famous landmark in this little fishing location. The tavern owners in Kolimbari (Kolymbari) still often go out to catch fish themselves but it is not just fresh fish which the taverns offer. The atmosphere at the taverns in the tiny fishing harbour ensures a pleasant evening and is an ideal starting point for ramblers and bikers. There are also well defined country roads to the inland which are practically traffic free and so suitable for bikers and walkers alike. Kolimbari (Kolymbari) is perfect for those in search of some peace and quiet whilst getting to know the country and the people. There is no trace of the hustle and bustle of Platanias which is around 7 km away.
