Seven Springs Sightseeing Guide
Rhodes is unique in the climate it has throughout
the summer but the amount of lush greenery, lakes and streams it seems to have. One
of the biggest draws on the island is the location of the Seven Springs, right next
to the village of Kolymbia.
Bathed in greenery and lush forest Seven Springs is a
virtual oasis in the heat of the summer. Local wildlife and flora are here in abundance
and the shade of the trees and greenery makes for a wonderful day out.
The Seven Springs
are actually fed by natural spring water which comes from the volcanic rock below,
the water seeps out of the springs all the time and so much of it comes out that
its been channelled into a small lake which now supply's the village of Kolymbia
with fresh water. The Italians when they occupied Rhodes created a dam which holds
the water until its need in the village below.
You can get down to the lake by following
a narrow tunnel about 180m until your reach the cooling waters of the lake.
Seven Springs -
Again in this area you will see wild Peacocks
and ducks which thrive of the small streams and the near lake, the flora in this
part of the island is also amazing with some very large and strange vegetation growing.
Around
the area of Seven Springs you will happen on some wonderful walking trails and this
area is very popular with ramblers and hikers visiting the island. Two of the main
walking options are following the dark tunnel down about 180 metres to the lake or
follow the road that lies above the actual tunnel which again will bring you down
to the lake.
If you need a bit to eat there is also a great little family Taverna
in the area which allows you to get fed and watered and continue on your way. Most
people bring picnics though as this area is wonderfully quiet and a great place to
take the family on a day out. Definitely something different from just sitting on
the beach all day.
