Why is the beach at Ixia pebbly?

Ixia is on the exposed west coast of the island, where the beaches are pebble and the wind is a regular feature — the reason windsurfers come here. Sandy, sheltered beaches are on the east side, around Faliraki and further south.

Our hotel says Ialysos, not Ixia.

Ialysos continues the same coastal strip just north and is a separate destination with its own price. Book the one your hotel’s address gives so the fare is right from the start.

Rhodes Diagoras Airport to Ixia transfer

Private, fixed-price transfer between Rhodes Diagoras Airport (RHO) and Ixia. Your driver tracks your flight, waits if it is delayed and meets you in the arrivals hall — the price below is final, taxes and fees included. The same price applies in both directions.

A private transfer from Rhodes Airport to Ixia runs north along the west coast, and Ixia is the first of the big hotel strips you reach. Its character comes from that coast. The west side of Rhodes is open to the meltemi wind and its beaches are pebble rather than sand, which is why Ixia is known for windsurfing and why the sea here is livelier than on the sheltered east side of the island. The hotels sit in a line between the main road and the water, running on into Ialysos, which is a separate destination in the price list. The fare covers the whole vehicle at any hour, and the driver follows the flight rather than a booked pickup time.
