Stretching along the northwestern shoreline of the island, Ixia offers the perfect mix of relaxation and activity, making it a favorite for both families and couples seeking a convenient yet scenic escape.
The beach in Ixia is a long stretch of pebbles and sand, lapped by the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea. The area is especially loved by windsurfing and kitesurfing enthusiasts thanks to the steady breeze that sweeps across the bay. On most days, you can watch colorful sails dancing over the water, or even take a beginner’s lesson if you are feeling adventurous. For those who prefer to unwind, sunbeds and beach bars offer plenty of options to soak in the view with a cool drink in hand.

Ixia is also home to a number of luxury hotels and resorts, many of which offer all-inclusive services, spa facilities, and private beach access. Despite the modern development, the area maintains a calm and natural feel, especially in the early morning or at twilight when the light reflects softly on the water and the breeze cools the air.
