Just three miles (5km) from Rhodes Town is the developed resort
of Ixia with a wide range of accommodation to suit most tastes. The
west coast receives a constant summer breeze, which tempers the
heat, and provides excellent conditions for windsurfing. The
shingle beach follows the curve of the main road with most of the
accommodation along the road; bathers should take care, as the
waves can be a little rough. Most hotels have pools and deckchairs
for those who prefer not to brave the sea. Ixia is ideal for family
holidays or an older clientele; there are only a few pubs and bars
that close at midnight, but most hotels provide family
entertainment programs, and its proximity to Rhodes Town means that
all the amenities of a large town are only a short taxi ride
away.
