Delfinia is located in the laid back resort of Kolympia, on the Greek island of Rhodes, offering a range of room types to cater for the needs of different travellers. There are plenty of on-site facilities for families with separate swimming pools for kids, waterslides for guests of all ages and food options created especially for your little companions. Meanwhile grown ups can maintain their fitness regime in the well-equipped gym.

The Elia restaurant offers a rich buffet, made from local ingredients, with four themed nights per week. Your taste buds will need to remember their passport before they are transported to Italy and Mexico but they can stay put for the Greek and seafood nights. Meals and snacks are available from 7:30am to 9:15pm as part of the all-inclusive service. If you’ve been out partying the night before you may wish to take advantage of the light breakfast service, available from the pool bar until 11am. Pita gyros are served here at lunchtime, ideal if you haven’t worked up the appetite for another full meal yet. Post-dinner drinks are served up until 11pm.

Rooms are equipped with air conditioning, WiFi, a TV, a safe, a fridge, a hairdryer and your own balcony. The family options can accommodate up to two adults and three little guests. Maybe you have one kid who loves swimming and another who prefers to watch TV instead? In which case you should consider a sharing or private pool upgrade. If you’re holidaying with the extended family, you might want to book the two bedroom suite, which can accommodate up to four grown ups and six little guests.

Nearby is Kolymbia Beach, with the shallow waters of the Aegean offering a safe place to paddle or swim. If you prefer to stay dry, boat trips depart nearby or you can climb Kolymbia Hill for breathtaking views of the bay. In the evening you’ll find a wide range of bars, restaurants and tavernas all keen to entice you through their doors.

A short drive away is Faethon Miniature Horses Farm, where you can see a number of rare breeds. After visiting you'll understand why on Greek carvings the proportions of soldiers riding horses don't always look as you expect.

Greece consumes more olive oil per capita than any other country. If you want to discover how the product is made, then an olive oil factory is just 10 minutes’ drive away. Why not buy some to take home for your friends and family?

Toxic blue green prawns and aggressive/violent staff

Sep 2022 | AJ280822

I attended this restaurant on the basis of the relatively cheap menu and the close proximity to the beach. I ordered the prawn spaghetti and noticed on the prawns head there was blue/green discolouration. I was unsure what this could be until I overheard a couple who questioned it to the owner. They stated it looked like blue-green algae. After hearing this, the woman who I believe was the owner became very aggressive and shouted at the pair who had asked where the prawns were caught. To my absolute disgust and shock she did not know and continued to shout at them and threatened to call the police if they did not pay. I was astounded by her aggressive and violent behaviour as a restaurant owner. I was also concerned why she did not know the location of the prawns as I had just eaten them. One of the couples said the algae was toxic, and the owner said it was a plant and that was why the flesh was blue/green. Out of concern for my own health I researched what this blue green algae was and discovered it is a toxic bacteria that can accumulate in shellfish and cause serious harm to humans when ingested. I am absolutely appalled and frankly disgusted at the very least the quality of food. From what I heard, the young couple only asked where the prawns were caught and said they were not satisfied and concerned with that dish. The owner and other staff members were HIGHLY aggressive and almost violent towards the couple who I only felt sorry for. In my personal opinion from observing this and being subject to contaminated food, this restaurant should not be open and the owner certainly should not be in a managerial position let alone out of a prison. She and the other staff were hostile, aggressive, violent and scary. Avoid at all costs.

Aggressive and violent owner and TOXIC food (literally).

Myself and my partner decided to eat here as the original restaurant we were going to was fully booked. I ordered the prawn spaghetti and to my absolute DISGUST, the prawns were green inside the head (Which is a telltale sign of contamination of blue green algae, aka Cyanobacteria which when eaten can lead to serious illness or death) My partner (Who has a Masters Degree in marine biology/fisheries management) noticed this, as she has dissected numerous crustaceans and shellfish, and identified it as the accumulation of blue-green algae (Cyanobacteria) the digestive tract of all 3 prawns that were on my plate. I then asked the “Owner” what the blue/green was inside of the prawns digestive tracts, she assured me that “this is normal” my partner then asked where the prawns came from, to which the owner said “the fisherman” before storming off back to the till area, where she stood on her phone for the rest of our meal. As we were about to leave, we asked for the bill and I tried to speak to this “owner” about my dish and stated that how she had treated us and spoken to us was not okay as we had only requested additional information. She did not respond very well to this, even though it was completely just and fair feedback and a fair question. She stated that prior to this, we had been “rude” because we asked where the prawns were from. I responded and simply said that I was only asking a question about a dish which I was going to be paying for and was presented with. Apparently it is not okay to ask your server about your dish if you have any concerns, she then started raising her voice ignoring our concerns regarding this public safety issue, and she shouted at both of us asking if we were going to pay, and threatening to call the police if we did not. I had never said I was not going to pay, all I said was that the dish I served and her service was not okay. As a paying customer or any consumer of a service, I presumed it would be fair to ask about my dish (Which appeared to be contaminated with toxic algae) My partner informed this woman that it was in fact toxic blue green algae, to which she responded “it’s just plant” which confirms she was aware of its presence in the prawns but did not know what it was nor cared. Considering she is the owner of a “restaurant” it is a matter of public safety that she is aware of all potential sources of threats to human health. She again threatened to call to the police and this is also when the “chef” and another elderly man who seemed to be part of the staff began shouting at us both. We simply were requesting additional information on the dish as it was highly concerning. All three of them were highly aggressive and were making myself and especially my partner feel very unsafe in this situation. So we decided to simple pay the bill (which we intended to regardless) and leave as we feared for our safety. Upon leaving I took a picture of the restaurant so I could A) inform the local authorities of their extreme aggression, anger and common assault, violence and failure to meet health and safety standards. B) inform tripadvisor of this experience to ensure the future safety of any potential travellers. After doing this, the elderly gentleman started storming out with something in his hand, I do not know what had hold of, however I would take an educated guess as to the nature of his gesturing that it was probably some sort of weapon/glass to threaten us with. Myself and my partner have never experienced anything like this abroad or in the UK. Considering we were simply asking a standard question as to where the shellfish came from out of concern for my personal health and well-being, we were called rude, denied any assistance or information, threatened and subject to intense and continue aggression. It was a simple question and we were met with a huge and aggressive overreaction. We were not complaining we asked a fair question regarding our food that the “owner” of a restaurant should know. We were chased out and threatened after asking this apparently insulting question. DO NOT GIVE THIS PLACE YOUR CUSTOM.
