Ialissos holidays:
When you are on a cheap holiday in Rhodes and would want catch with the long lens of your camera the wonderful and unimaginable Greek sights and historic monuments, then you wouldn’t want to miss Ialissos. Beyond the great beaches of Ialissos, on the picturesque horizon, is the world-famous Mt. Filerimos where the ancient Doric city still stands majestically. Ialissos is described as a town with orchards surrounding its hills, giving it a colorful and passionate atmosphere. This town is the last of the multiple chains of resorts in Rhodes Island.

This resort, situated at the last turn to Ixia, promises to make your long travel all worth it as it is a fitting finale to your great journey to Rhodes. It has the same sand beaches like many of the resorts in Rhodes you’ve passed, but it is unique in its own way for having one of the most important archeological sites in Rhodes—the Acropolis of Ialissos. Sitting on top of Mt. Filerimos, the ancient Doric city is where you will find the remains of the temple of Zeus and Athena Pallada. You can also marvel at the Byzantine fortifications as well as the path of Golgothas which has been well preserved and protected by the Greeks. The church of the Dormition of Theotokos or Virgin Mary, Mother of God is also a sight to behold. The temple is a 14th century church of the Knights built by the Orthodox and Catholic worshippers in honor of the Virgin Mary.

After marveling at these sights, you may want to spend another day in Ialissos for relaxation. You will be pampered like a royalty at the many Rhodes Hotels and spas in the area, which has also made the place a favorite for tourists around the world. Along the shoreline and the main avenue, small inns and world-class hotels line up one after the other, giving you a wide choice for accommodation. There is also a hippy commercial center that offers everything, from souvenir items to various accessories. But if you are looking for more action, Ialissos is also famous for its water sports. Wind-surfing enthusiasts will certainly enjoy the wind and water. For beginners, there are expert wind-surfing instructors who can give crash-course training.
