INFORMATION ABOUT THE ISLAND OF RHODES:
The island belongs to the Dodecanese group of Islands, situated in
the South Eastern Mediterranean Sea. The name Ixia is derived from a
plant of the same name (Corn Lily), and can be traced back to over
1000 years. It covers the area between Rhodes Town and Ialyssos
Town.
Ixia is situated on the West Coast of the Island; its bay is 8-9kms
long and is bordered by hills and mountains, which run from north to
south. The landscape and flora of the area consist of varied and
typical Mediterranean vegetation - cypress, eucalyptus, pine, lemon,
orange, mandarin and olive trees, and many herbs. The urban
structure consists of old and new villas, houses, hotels of all
classes, shops, restaurants, taverns, bars and tourist shops. In
between these are smallholdings growing tasteful produce.
During the fishing season, catches along the Bay include marides,
gopa and kolios, which the fishermen sell directly on the sea side.
The beach is made up of varied earth-collared pebbles, and 6m in
from the water's edge the transparent and clean seawater has a sandy
sea bed.
Owing to the pleasurable climate and the fresh north wind which
blows especially during the summer months, the Rhodian City
population has had for hundreds of years a holiday resort in Ixia.
It is a delight to swim here and to enjoy water sports, especially
windsurfing.
