One of the 3 Ancient cities of Rhodes Island, Ialyssos is set on the north part of the island, close to Rhodes town. A very popular tourist attraction for the long beach, filerimos mount, rhodes international airport (paradeisi area), shops, traditional houses, lots of green. Blue waters, a seemingly endless organized beach, the pleasant cool summer climate and mild winters, big hotel complexes as well as smaller friendly ones, shops of all kinds, and many night-clubs all contribute to make lalyssos (or Ialysos) bay one of the most popular resorts on the island. Thanks to the ideal conditions of the region, important international windsurfing competitions often take place here.
