Holidays in Ixia are ideal for those seeking a relaxing retreat in the sun with plenty of amenities, historic and cultural attractions. The modern resort features a shingle and pebble beach that stretches one mile along the coast. Visitors can soak up the sun or try their hand at a wealth of water sports. The offshore breeze makes it especially popular with windsurfers and sailors. The majority of accommodation is set alongside the beach with stunning sea views.
Visitors can browse for souvenirs in the tourist shops lining the beach or, for a serious assault on your credit cards, head to the island's capital. Holidays in Ixia are not complete without a trip to Rhodes Town, three miles, (five kilometres) away with its historic and cultural attractions. Here visitors can explore the maze of narrow streets, 16th-century architecture, Turkish baths, Streets of the Knights of St John, the 14th-century Palace of the Grand Masters, the Mosque of Suleiman, and the bustling Madriki harbour.
Other popular excursions include a fun day out at the water park of Faliraki and a visit to the island's prettiest hillside village of Lindos. Holidays in Ixia offer a fine choice of restaurants, bars and even a couple of nightclubs. Visitors can taste typical Greek dishes in the beachside restaurants. But those seeking more pulsating nightlife can head to the island's capital. Rhodes Town is positively bursting with lively bars and clubs.
