Nearly a century ago the italians that occupied the island of Rhodes founded Kolymbia, a farmers' village. The main feature of the village (not more than a dozen of houses around the olive groves) was a clock tower and the road of eucalyptus that heads directly to sea. Today the trees provide a spectacular arch of exactly 2,000 meters length!
