Ixia Beach Rhodes

The extensive Ixia Beach, we find it in the north-eastern part of the multifaceted Rhodes Island, about five kilometers from the capital Rhodos Town and also very convenient for the airport which is just over ten kilometers away.

Once a small village, Ixia has now become one of the most requested destinations especially by northern European tourism and offers all the most modern comforts. The country is full of shopping centers, typical taverns, international and trendy restaurants, night clubs, cafes, bars, souvenir shops and a wide choice of accommodation mainly large resorts with private beach. Let's say that it is not exactly the typical area that we all dream of when we think of Greece, it is more of a large contemporary settlement where perhaps the flavor of the Hellenic atmosphere is lost a little but on the contrary it offers all comforts for a relaxing and carefree holiday in Rhodes.

Ixia beach stretches for about five kilometers and is divided by another highly sought-after area that of Ialyssos by Mount Fileramos. It has a long and narrow beach made of clear gravel, clean and transparent waters, a sea with a classic blue color with seabed that descend quite quickly so if you have small children it is always better to be very careful. Given its position completely open to the sea, it is almost always whipped by the winds that sometimes create waves that are not exactly the best if you love long and regenerating swims. On the contrary, it is much appreciated by sportsmen who engage in activities where Aeolus is the absolute protagonist in fact on this part of the coast of Rhodes surf, windusrf and kitesurf enthusiasts gather as the weather conditions are perfect for practicing this type of sport.

Long and lonely at times, there is so much space that you can even find yourself alone for several hundred meters, it is very well equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas provided above all by the resorts behind it as well as private beaches where you can find parasols and deck chairs to pass a day at sea. As for the restaurant, after crossing the road you will be spoiled for choice both to eat and to drink something fresh. Let's say that the Ixia area is still less windy than the Ialyssos area but the fact remains that if you are not a lover of the wind it will certainly not do it for you!

Certainly, you will not find many young people in this part of the island because they basically prefer sandy beaches and above all where you are not slapped for free by the gusts therefore it remains very quiet and pleasant when the weather is mild to spend a few hours in absolute relaxation and silence.

If you have a 4-legged friend, the Ixia Beach is the ideal place here, they are welcome also given the low turnout.The Ixia beach is still pleasant especially at sunset for an aperitif or a dinner given the excellent taverns that offer fresh fish and classic Greek and local cuisine, and its location that offers idyllic moments during this phenomenon that every day our beloved land gives us as well as wonderful views of the Turkish mainland. For a moment of distraction, go to Ialyssos to visit the ancient city one of the most important archaeological sites in Rhodes just above the Filerimos hill.

Nothing could be simpler. If you have your own vehicle and in Rhodes we will never stop saying it better a car since there are so many things to visit and the distances also become quite important, just go north-east following the main road and the road signs for Ixia - Ialyssos. If on the other hand, you are on foot, there are many public bus routes that reach here from the largest seaside resorts. Always have an eye on the times so as to plan your trip.

Always have an eye on the times so as to plan your trip. Even if it is not exactly the best for a day at sea but it always remains our personal point of view, maybe put it at the end of the list of things to do in Rhodes, it could be a good opportunity to explore and discover this too. side of the island not very busy but just as interesting.
