BEAUTIFUL Europe

Wo kann man das Leben am buntesten feiern, wenn nicht am Meer mit luxuriösen Annehmlichkeiten, die auch Europas Jetset begeistern?

THE FRANKFURTER geht auf Lebenslust-Tour – von Rhodos über Marbella bis Zypern. Ziel: heiße Spots.

Where can you celebrate life most colorfully if not by the sea with luxurious amenities that even delight Europe’s jet set? THE FRANKFURTER goes on a “lust for life tour” – from Rhodes to Cyprus via Marbella. Destination? Hot spots!

Beautiful twisty bays, crystal-clear water and outstanding countryside – all this is what makes Rhodes so popular with vacationers. In front of a spectacular mountain backdrop, the coastal town of Kolymbia flirts with us. Water sports are very important in this place: From surfing to motorized water sports, everything is possible and – as in every corner of the island – very well organized. Cook’s Club Kolymbia, newly opened in May offers guests a chance to lie back and relax at two turquoise-blue freshwater pools. Designed in natural boho chic, the venue radiates an extremely stylish island feeling. With a cocktail in one hand and DJ beats in your ears, the shimmering poolscape is a delightful place to unwind and relax in. You’ll see plenty of cliques celebrating life by the pools. All in all, this stylish boutique hotel offers a communicative vacation experience for the young and the young at heart; no-one stays alone here for long. The adults-only spot is also a foodie’s heaven, with three restaurants serving Rhodian and Greek specialties, as well as Asian street food and vegan options. Just like the beach, the old town of Kolymbia is just a stone’s throw away. The surrounding area offers fine sights (our tip: the Artistic Village Contemporary Art ceramics museum) and a number of pretty little restaurants. We love Ginger, which offers an excellent sushi menu and a gorgeous sea view.
