Ixia holidays
Jump to sections
For a getaway that packs in watersports, authentic Greek restaurants and quiet bars, holidays to Ixia are just the ticket. And you're right next to history-steeped Rhodes Town.
Relaxing Rhodes
On Rhodes’ northwest tip, Ixia is a pretty, purpose-built resort that clings to the curl of Aegean coastline known as Ixia Bay. Along the seafront stand tall, luxury hotels and a string of restaurants that cater as much to locals as they do visitors. And set back from the water’s edge is a quieter residential area with the Akramitis Mountain for a backdrop.
Active beach
Ixia’s 2-kilometre shingle beach is washed by warm blue waters, and looks out towards the Turkish mainland. The beach is a really popular spot for watersports, especially windsurfing, parasailing and yachting, thanks to the easterly sea breeze – the waves can really pick up in the afternoon. There are private sections where you can hire a parasol and a sunbed. And along the edge of the sand, you’ve got bars serving drinks and snacks.
Scenic promenade
Parallel to the beach is a curving promenade that follows the coast all the way to Rhodes Town. It’s dotted with bars and tavernas, plus a couple of Greek bakeries and well-stocked supermarkets. You’ll also find Rhodesland, a pink shopping centre, on this strip. It has some lovely boutiques and a swanky pool bar with sunloungers lined up around the water’s edge.
Close to Rhodes town
Rhodes Town, the island’s historical capital city, is a 10-minute bus ride away. The old town appeals to history buffs, culture vultures and shopaholics thanks to its line-up of museums and scenic squares, plus its Turkish Quarter that’s brimming with shops. And don’t miss the magnificent Street of Knights where the Crusaders set up shop in the Middle Ages.
