A Legacy of Hospitality:
From One Generation to the Next
For decades, our family has dedicated itself to the art of hospitality, welcoming guests from around the world to experience the beauty of Rhodes. It all began with a vision— to create a home away from home, where every guest is treated like family. This vision gave birth to Kolymbia Bay Art, Kolymbia Sun, and 12 Islands Villas, each embodying our deep-rooted passion for authentic Greek hospitality.
As time moves forward, so does our family. With strong bonds of tradition and shared values, the new generation steps in—not to replace, but to evolve. We honor the legacy built before us, while embracing innovation, fresh ideas, and a renewed commitment to excellence. This new era is not just about continuing what was started, but expanding it—enhancing the guest experience, introducing modern touches, and ensuring that every stay is unforgettable.
With the same warmth, dedication, and love that defined our past, we look to the future with excitement. Our family remains at the heart of everything we do, and as we grow, so does our promise: to offer unparalleled hospitality, to create lasting memories, and to keep the spirit of Rhodes alive in every stay.
