La proprietà — Apollo Beach
Apollo Beach is a comfortable, family-friendly 4-star right on the sand at Ixia. Think functional but pleasant: a large pool, decent buffet restaurant and basic rooms that are clean if not stylish. It suits holidaymakers who want direct beach access and don't mind a 10-minute bus hop into Rhodes Town. Standing in the lobby, you smell the sea and hear the pool bar chatter — it's honest, unhurried and fine for a short stay.
Cronache di Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks and became a major maritime power, home to the Colossus of Rhodes. Under the Knights of St John (1309–1522), it was fortified into a formidable medieval city, now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Successive Ottoman and Italian rulers left mosques, minarets and neoclassical buildings, creating a layered architectural mix. Today the city balances tourism with a lively local culture: the Old Town buzzes with shops and tavernas, while the New Town handles the port and modern life.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Rodos →I migliori mesi
May, June and September: temperatures 24-30°C, low humidity, clear skies, plus thinner crowds than July/August.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are the hottest and busiest months, with temperatures hitting 35°C and flights full. Hotel rates at Apollo Beach rise by 30–50% over shoulder periods. No major festival drives this — it's pure European school-holiday demand.
Stagione di spalla
Late May and early October offer discounts of 20–40% on peak rates, still warm enough for swimming (20-25°C) with far fewer tourists.
Meteo e imballaggio
Summer in Rhodes is reliably dry, but the meltemi wind can pick up in July afternoons, making the sea choppy. Pack a lightweight windbreaker for beach time and strong SPF 50+ sunscreen.
Briefing della città — Rodos
- A new bus-only lane on the Rhodes Town–Ixia road was introduced in 2025, cutting journey times from Ixia to the Old Town to around 10 minutes.
- The Grand Master's Palace in the Old Town completed a roof refurbishment in early 2026, so all exhibits are fully open this summer.
- Several Ixia beachfront restaurants have upgraded their sunbed booking systems for 2026, now requiring online reservations during peak July weekends.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Apollo Beach, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on floors 4 through 6 facing the sea side (southwest). These levels sit above the pool terrace noise but still offer clear views over the coast. Elevator stops at floor 6, so top-floor rooms have less foot traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms at the back (northeast side) overlooking the service alley and staff entrance. Also skip ground-floor rooms near the lobby and pool bar – chair scraping and early-morning cleaning are noticeable there.
Best views
Sea-view rooms on the southwest side offer the best vista – across the beach and bay. North-facing rooms get a partial city view but also traffic noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 to 6 are the quietest. Above the pool and bar sounds, and away from street-level traffic along the coastal road.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is on a busy coastal road in Rodos town. Moped and taxi traffic peaks from 8–10am and 5–8pm. The pool bar plays music until 11pm, affecting ground-floor rooms. The lift is audible in adjacent rooms on floors 1–3.
Insider tips
1. Ask for a room on floor 5 or 6 with a sea view – they are quieter and have less dust from the construction site next door (Rodos waterfront redevelopment). 2. If you arrive after 8pm, call ahead to confirm your room assignment – the front desk sometimes gives away sea-view rooms to walk-ins.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Principali attrazioni a Rodos
💡 Come at dawn or dusk for photos without crowds. The lanterns look magical after sunset, and the architecture is best seen without souvenir stalls in the way.
💡 Go early morning before 09:00 for photos without crowds. The nearby Jewish Quarter has fewer tourists.
💡 Walk it at dusk when the street lamps glow and most tourists have left. Look for the carved coats of arms above each inn doorway.
💡 Sunset from the pier is excellent. Bring water shoes if you want to wade. The fish market nearby is lively at 08:00.
💡 Best light for photos is just before sunset. Grab a cheap souvlaki from a harbour-side kiosk and sit on the rocks near the windmills.
💡 Start at the Liberty Gate end; the path is mostly flat and takes about 40 minutes. Good for early morning.
💡 Climb at sunset for clear views over the bay and modern city. No ticket needed.
💡 Bring bread for the peacocks – they'll follow you. It's a 20-minute walk from the centre or a cheap bus ride (€1.20).
