The Property — Evita Beach
The Evita Beach is a straightforward, no-fuss 3-star hotel on Rodos’s popular east coast, a short walk from the sand and the main strip in the town of Ixia. Expect a clean, whitewashed exterior, a small pool, and a bar where guests gather for cold Mythos beers after a day in the sun. It suits budget-conscious couples or small families who want a reliable base for beach and bar-hopping, not a resort-within-a-resort. Standing in the lobby you get a sense of quiet efficiency – the receptionist hands you your key card, points to the breakfast room, and you’re settled in minutes.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rodos city was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks as a planned urban centre with a grid layout and fine harbours. It flourished under the Knights of St John from 1309 to 1522, who fortified the Old Town with massive walls and built the Palace of the Grand Master. Later centuries saw Ottoman and Italian rule, each leaving their mark on the architecture – minarets alongside medieval ramparts, and a broad Italianate waterfront. Today the city is a living, walkable museum: the UNESCO-listed Old Town houses shops and tavernas inside medieval halls, while the modern New Town buzzes with cafés and ferry traffic to nearby islands.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, June and September deliver reliably sunny days around 25-30°C, warm sea, and fewer crowds than July-August. Hotel rates are still moderate, and you can enjoy the Old Town without gridlock.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the hottest and busiest months, with temperatures often hitting 35°C. The city fills with package-tour visitors, particularly from the UK and Scandinavia, and hotel prices can double from shoulder-season levels. The island’s main festival is the Medieval Rose Festival in June, but in high summer the draw is simply guaranteed sun and beach time.
Budget shoulder season
May and late September are the best budget shoulder months: rates drop by 30-40% versus August, the weather is still fine for swimming, and the streets of the Old Town are genuinely pleasant to stroll.
Weather & packing
July afternoons can bring a sudden meltemi wind – strong, dry and dusty – so pack a thin scarf or light jacket for evening gusts. The explicit rule: bring a hat and high-factor sunscreen you actually reapply; the Rhodes sun is relentless even with a breeze.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- Rodos city has completed a new pedestrian zone along the Mandraki harbour front, making the walk from the New Market to the medieval fortifications much smoother.
- The city’s hop-on-hop-off bus route now extends to Ixia, so Evita Beach guests can easily reach the Old Town without needing taxis or rental cars.
- A major road upgrade on the coastal ring road (June-September 2026) may cause sporadic evening traffic delays between Ixia and the city centre; plan for an extra 10-15 minutes if driving.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Evita Beach, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request upper floors (2nd or 3rd) on the side facing away from the main street — likely the rear or pool-facing rooms, as these are quieter and catch the afternoon sun without road noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the reception or pool bar area — these suffer from foot traffic and early morning cleaning noise. Also skip rooms overlooking the front entrance, which face the road.
Best views
Side or rear-facing rooms likely offer a view of the pool or garden areas, since the hotel is on a main road in Rodos — avoid front views which show only traffic and pavement.
Quietest floors
2nd and 3rd floors (if a lift is present, these are accessible but removed from street-level activity).
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from the main road in Rodos (likely Leoforos Kallitheas or similar) can be persistent until late evening. The hotel’s low 3-star rating suggests basic soundproofing, so request a room away from the front.
Insider tips
1. Check in after 3pm to increase chances of a higher floor — early arrivals often get ground-floor leftovers. 2. If you have a car, ask the front desk about free street parking spots on side streets rather than the hotel’s paid lot.
- 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

Eat at tavernas away from the main tourist squares – prices drop by a few euros. Buy snacks and water from supermarkets, not tourist kiosks. Visit free beaches and public beaches rather than paying for sunbeds.
