Blue Bay Restaurant | Atlantica Imperial Resort

A high-end restaurant with modern cuisine that does not neglect the Greek touch. Dishes prepared with precision, quality ingredients, and respect for the taste result

More generally, in areas with significant potential for tourism development, one of the areas where weaknesses are often identified is gastronomy. In Rhodes, a typical example is Kolymbia. In the middle of the route from the city of Rhodes to Lindos, the area has a beautiful beach and several hotel units, with the flagship being Atlantica Imperial Resort.

What the region lacks, especially for visitors seeking the combination of a good beach, a comfortable hotel, and an impressive culinary offering, are the food options. That doesn’t mean that pleasant taverns or hotel restaurants that accept external visitors are lacking. However, There is one exception that makes a difference: a hotel with four restaurant options, open and accessible to those who do not stay at it.

For those who know the area or have already searched for its gastronomic options, the name that comes automatically to mind is Atlantica Imperial Resort. And, to be fair, no hotel can guarantee a high level of taste in the «automatic pilot.» It is therefore worth recognizing that the quality that makes the hotel stand out is linked to the contribution of its manager, Christos Georganas, But also with the careful, knowledge-based and experience-based selection of his collaborators.

We have already mentioned the three restaurants in the central building complex, giving them the credit they deserve. However, we have not spoken as much as we should about the gastronomic gem that is the distinctive element of the overall hospitality offering at Atlantica: the Atlantica Imperial Residences.

In this particular autonomous accommodation complex is located the Atlantica Blue Bay Restaurant, a gastronomic proposal that exceeds the expectations for a tourist destination like Kolymbia, which continues to develop.

First of all, its location in the luxury annex of the hotel, combined with its easy access, gives it the feel of an independent restaurant, without the distance that often characterizes the dining areas of large hotel complexes. A sense of formality that, in some cases, can act as a deterrent for those who do not stay at the hotel.

The Blue Bay Restaurant It is located on the first floor of the building, in a particularly comfortable space with modern, urban features. In front of it stretches a terrace with a swimming pool, while the broader view completes the picture, creating an environment with a distinct identity.

Without hesitation, I would say that anyone who takes a vacation in the area deserves to visit it at least once. Aside from the interior and the view, they will enjoy what ultimately matters most in a quality restaurant: the taste.

The menu, for which the very good chef has executive responsibility Kostas Altikis, With an executive chef Alexandros Akritides and the supervision of the exceptional, with significant professional achievements, Iliya Kakkuri, It is moving in an international direction, while simultaneously incorporating the Greek touches imposed by its geographical location.

It would be easy to mention some of the dishes we tried that could stand proudly in a high-end restaurant. We would avoid that, however, as menu changes are frequent and a culinary guide cannot keep up with them constantly.

What we can emphasize, however, is that the Blue Bay Restaurant It essentially complements the proposal for hosting and gastronomic enjoyment of Atlantica Imperial Resort, adding a remarkable option to the culinary map of Kolympies.
