Map of Ixia in Rhodes Island Greece
Ixia
Ixia is in the North of Rhodes and only 7km from the airport. The
resort has developed along a long, shingle beach and is backed by
hills. Ixia is still a developing resort with many newer, larger
hotels appearing on the outskirts, and caters for all types of
holidaymakers. A range of watersports is available on the beach
and there is a
frequent bus service to Rhodes Town.
There is a large choice of restaurants in resort from fast food
places to steak houses, and also a wide choice of bars and discos.
Distance from Rhodes City: 4Km
The first thing that will catch your eye is the large number and
variety of hotels extending as far as your eye can see, and all
the Sun-baked tourists soaking up the sun at the poolside or the
beach, who throw themselves into all sorts of activities - water
sports, shopping, tasting some of the specialties offered by the
restaurants, which are constantly opening up along the main
avenue, moving away from the rationale that was the norm until
recently, which was to serve 'a bit of everything'.
All along the shoreline and other streets parallel to it, you
will find a multitude of hotels and small commercial
centres with anything you need. If all
the above seems a bit too touristy for your taste, then carry on
to the end of the beach (on the way to Kremasti).
If you are not actually staying here, ancient Ialysos, one of
the most important archaeological sites on the island located on
the hill of Filerimos, would probably be the most important
reason for visiting this area. This is where you can find the
remains of the temple of Zeus and Athena Poliada, as well as the
remnants of the Byzantine fortifications, the 14th century
church of the Knights (the Virgin Mary of Filerimos was
worshiped by both the Orthodox and the Catholic faith) and the
road to Golgothas (a 'path of cypress trees' with impressive
shrines on both sides).
