Rhodes Town
Rhodes Town is the cultural and shopping capital of the Dodecanese islands, as well as having some of the most sophisticated nightlife in Greece. The cosmopolitan capital has broad tree-lined avenues, imposing public buildings, Mandraki harbour, the Turkish and Jewish quarters and the magnificent old town, and a stunningly well-preserved Crusader fortress city. Wandering round the cobbles streets it's easy to picture how it must have looked back in the Middle Ages - despite the modern boutiques, tavernas and souvenir shops! It's hard to not to get swept up in this ancient town's rich history.
As night falls then it's time to head off to one of the many tavernas and stylish restaurant offering the fresh catch of the day, traditional Greek cuisine and fine dining. Then onto the aptly named Bar Street - for a night of drinking and dancing, or maybe a flutter at the grand casino located by the main beach.
For top class hotels with all the trimmings Rhodes Town has plenty to see and do, and if you decide to hire a car, the whole island's yours to explore.

Ixia
Ixia is perfect for active holidaymakers with an endless stretch of shingle beach, complete with sunbeds and umbrellas, a wide selection of watersports and plenty of beach bars. Ixia offers fantastic views of the coastline of Turkey and across the road from the beach, you'll find most of the resort's bars, restaurants and some of the island's top hotel and apartment complexes.
Ixia is in a perfect spot to reach the Capital of Rhodes and its numerous architectural wonders - all a short bus or taxi ride away. Founded in 408 BC, much of the ancient city (including the famed Colossus of Rhodes) was destroyed by a series of massive earthquakes. Since then, it has been occupied by the Romans, Crusaders and Venetians, and Ottomans and Germans - and each and every 'owner' has added their own touch to the lustre of the incredibly unspoilt city.
As you continue down the coast road, Ixia merges into the neighbouring resort of Trianda, or Ialyssos, which are very similar in character. Head up onto the hills above the old village here to discover the beautifully restored monastery of Filerimos, with stunning views across the Aegean to the mountains of the Turkish coast.
So if you want to be close to all this action, yet prefer to stay in a beach resort rather than in the centre of the town itself, take a look at modern Ixia.
