The Property — Ledras Beach Hotel
The Ledras Beach Hotel is a straightforward, no-fuss three-star perched right on the sand at Ixia, a ten-minute drive north of Rhodes Town. The lobby is bright and airy, with tiled floors and a small bar area, smelling faintly of sun cream and sea salt. Its main draw is the direct beach access and a decent-sized pool, making it a solid choice for budget-conscious families or couples who plan to spend most of their time by the water. You won't find boutique charm here, but you will get clean rooms, a filling breakfast buffet, and a location that puts the Aegean a few steps from your door.
Chronicles of Rodos
The city of Rhodes was founded in 408 BC as a planned settlement by the ancient Greeks, quickly becoming a major maritime power. Its medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was largely built by the Knights Hospitaller during their 200-year rule from 1309, enclosing a warren of cobbled streets and Gothic palaces. The Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, once stood at the harbour entrance but was destroyed by an earthquake in 226 BC. Modern Rhodes Town blends ancient ruins, Ottoman mosques, and Italian Art Deco additions from the early 20th century, all within a lively tourist district. Today it thrives on a mix of sun-seeking package holidaymakers and history enthusiasts drawn to its remarkably intact fortifications.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
June and September offer consistently hot, dry weather (25–30°C) with manageable crowds, as the July–August peak has not fully arrived or has receded. October also works for late-season warmth and lower prices.
Peak / festival surge
August is the absolute peak, driven by the European school summer holidays. Hotel prices jump by 50–70% against shoulder season. The biggest event is the Rhodes Summer Festival, with concerts and theatre in the Old Town's moat.
Budget shoulder season
May and October are the best budget shoulder months: highs around 22–25°C, far fewer tourists, and hotel rates often 30–50% cheaper than peak summer. Sea temperatures are still swimmable, especially in October.
Weather & packing
Rhodes gets strong, persistent summer winds called the meltemi, which can whip up sand on Ixia beach and make mornings feel cooler than the thermometer suggests. Pack a light windbreaker or long-sleeved cover-up for beach evenings, and always bring sunblock with high SPF.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- From April 2026, the island's bus network has added a direct express service between Ixia and Rhodes Town's main bus terminal, running every 15 minutes in peak season, reducing the need for taxis.
- The historic Palace of the Grand Master in the Old Town has completed its multi-year roof restoration; visitors can now access previously closed upper galleries from May 2026.
- A new pedestrian zone on Socrates Street, the main shopping thoroughfare, was introduced in June 2026, extending through to the harbour — expect quieter traffic but busier footfall in the evenings.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Ledras Beach Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor with a sea-facing balcony. These floors catch the breeze and have clearer views over the rooftops, away from the road's direct noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms. They are directly exposed to street-level noise from passing traffic and foot traffic, plus offer little privacy. Also skip any rooms at the back overlooking the service alley or parking area.
Best views
Front-facing rooms (sea side) give a direct view of the Aegean coast and the old town's minarets in the distance. Side-facing rooms may see the neighbouring hotel garden but not much else.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest — above the low-level bar hum and away from the lift's ground-floor jolts, but not high enough for wind disturbance.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel sits on a main street running parallel to the beach. Expect traffic noise from buses and mopeds until around midnight. The ground-floor bar has live music some evenings, which reverberates up the stairwell.
Insider tips
If you arrive by car, use the free on-street parking 100m north on the coastal road — the hotel's own lot fills by 6pm. Request a room on the 'beach wing' (ask when booking) for better sea views and less alley-facing windows.
- 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

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs in Rodos town for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport and tourist spots, which give poor rates and charge high fees.
Cards are widely accepted in most shops, restaurants, and hotels; contactless works well, but carry some cash for small tavernas and local markets.
Rounding up the bill or leaving 5-10% is appreciated in restaurants; for taxis, rounding up to the nearest euro is fine; hotel staff: a couple of euros for luggage or housekeeping.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A Greek frappe or freddo espresso from a local kafeneio costs around €3-4.
A gyros pita from a street stand or souvlaki shop costs about €4-5.
A main course at a traditional taverna, like moussaka or grilled fish, runs €10-15.
The old town and Mandraki harbour areas have many gyros and souvlaki stands; look for busy spots with locals queuing.
Supermarkets like Sklavenitis, AB Vassilopoulos, and Lidl are common in Rodos town and near tourist areas.
For affordable everyday wear, check shops along Orfanidou Street or in the new town; markets in the old town sell souvenirs and beachwear, but quality varies.
Local buses (KTEL) cost €1.20-2.50 per ride; a 3-day bus pass is around €15. From the airport, take the public bus (€2.80 one way) instead of taxis (€30+).
Eat away from the main tourist streets in the old town for better prices and quality. Buy water and snacks at supermarkets rather than beach kiosks. Use bus passes for multiple trips instead of taxis.

Top Attractions in 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).
