Springboard to Rhodes
Holidays in Ixia give you a chance to immerse yourself in the tranquility of the Greek island of Rhodes. It’s a pretty little town with an excellent choice of restaurants and traditional tavernas, bars playing live music and activities for more energetic visitors. The modern, purpose built buildings house some of the island’s best hotels, as well as shops and more.
Your trip here will centre around the golden sandy beach where you can choose to be as relaxed or active as you like. Watersports include kayaking and sailing, while there are large swathes of golden sands which make it perfect for a day spent soaking up the sun. At the beach there is a selection of bars and restaurants, each serving a unique menu of traditional Greek options, with international choices for fussier little ones. To take in the beautiful natural surroundings, the promenade is the perfect place for a scenic stroll.
When staying in Ixia you’ll be spoilt for choice for places to explore. At the top of Filerimos Hill, one of the oldest relics on the island can be found – the Doric temple. The Doric temple was dedicated to the Greek Gods Zeus and Athena Polias, you can literally walk among history as you explore this area and visit the nearby Ancient Stadium of Rhodes.

Rhodes enjoys the most sunshine of any other Greek island – 300 days a year, in fact. Temperate springs and long, dry summers give you plenty of time to visit; the earlier months of the season suit sightseeing while the mid-summer months of July and August push 30°C – perfect for keen beach-goers. Even in the height of summer, the island’s cool winds take care of any humidity.
