Ixia Beach Resort Panorama

A Sweeping View of the Ixia Bay

This camera commands an elevated vantage over Ixia, the resort strip on the northwest coast of Rhodes. The lens follows the curve of the bay where the Aegean Sea meets a long ribbon of pebbled beach, with the distant silhouettes of neighbouring coastlines drifting across the water.

The Beachfront Resort

Dominating the foreground is a large crescent-shaped resort with a sprawling multi-level pool complex, sun terraces and landscaped gardens that step down toward the shore. Ixia is one of the island's most established tourist hubs, famed for its hotels and its open exposure to the steady sea breeze.

Rhodes and the Dodecanese

Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese islands in the South Aegean, prized for its medieval old town, its long beaches and its position as a gateway between the Greek archipelago and the Anatolian coast.

Watching the Coast

The wide framing makes this a fine vantage for following maritime traffic, the rhythm of the resort waterfront and the ever-changing colours of the open Aegean as they shift across the bay.
