Rhodes is an amazing Greek Island that is home to some of the worlds most beautiful resorts. Some of the more popular ones are Faliraki and Pefkos, but there are some hidden gems like Ialyssos.
Ialyssos (also known as Trianda) is a town that can be found on the North coast of Rhodes, it is approximately 10 Km from Rhodes old Town. Like many resort towns in Europe Ialyssos is split into two distinct sections - the resort and the village.
The resort area consists of Ialyssos beach (which is a pebble beach), cafes, restaurants, night clubs and some large hotel complexes. The night clubs in the area give the resort a lively night life, however there are not that many compared to places like Faliraki.
Ialyssos beach is a great place to relax, but it also also a great spot for doing some windsurfing due to the perfect weather conditions. There is a wind surfing club on the beach, so if you need to get some practice you can go there.
On the other hand, if you are looking for a quiet relaxing holiday then you should head for the village, where you will have the chance to experience the traditional Greek culture.
Lalyssos village is a very beautiful place and there is some amazing architecture for you to see there including a Byzantine monastery, the remains of an ancient acropolis, the temple of Athena Polias, the church of the knights, and quite a few other ancient ruins.
If that's not enough to keep you occupied you can always head down to Rhodes Town which is conveniently nearby, and has a lot more sights for you to feast your eyes on.
