Ialissos

The small town of Ialissos is situated around 10km from the city of Rhodes and just 3km from the airport. Its close proximity to the airport makes air traffic noise highly likely.

Ten minutes walk inland from the beach resort is the picturesque hilltop village of Ialissos. Built on the site of one of the four ancient cities of Rhodes and was renamed the residential area linking Trianda and Ixia both of which are 20 minutes stroll away.

The beach is sandy and partly pebbly so wearing some water shoes is highly recommended. The beach offers a wide range of watersport with windsurfing dominating the waters.

Many of the islands historic attractions are found in the walled capital, Rhodes Town, including a medieval castle, the 14th century Palace of the Grand Masters and much more.

Other sights of interest include the Valley of the Butterflies, the ancient ruins of Kamiros and the Acropolis in Lindos.

Operating throughout Rhodes there are plenty of boat trips available, from excursions to secluded beaches and surrounding islands as well as daily ferries to Marmaris in Turkey.

For family fun visit the waterpark in Faliraki, attractions include slides, a wave pool, a lazy river and a children’s fun pool centred with a pirate ship.
