The area is known for its strong winds that attract windsurfers from all over the world. With a rental car, you can easily explore the entire island of Rhodes, from Lindos in the south to Kameiros in the west.

Ixia lies along the busy coastal strip between Rhodes town and Diagoras Airport (RHO), which is just 7 km away. From Ixia, it is 45 km to the ancient Lindos with its acropolis, and 35 km to Butterfly Valley (Petaloudes). The area has several large hotel complexes along the waterfront promenade.
