Rhodes Trianda beach

TRIANDA or TRIANTA, along with neighbouring Ixia, is one of the main luxury hotel beach strips for Rhodes Town and lies to the south-west of the town centre.
The Trianda beach strip runs for several kilometres and is home to the most fashionable hotels on Rhodes island, some in the five star luxury class, others concentrating on conference facilities and many more luxury all-inclusive family holiday hotels.
Trianda is also home to many smaller family hotels and apartment blocks. They are all surrounded by tourist service industries such as neon-lit bars, international restaurants, roadside cafes and beach snack bars to meet almost everyone's taste. Most of them are found on the long esplanade that runs behind the Trianda beach.
Trianda beach is not particularly good - mixture of sand and pebbles - but then it doesn't need to be. Location is everything here, with a long sea front so near to the main city and hotels offering their all-inclusive holidays with extravagant swimming pools and five star restaurants.
That said there are plenty of facilities to be found on the Trianda beaches - sunbeds, showers and toilets are plentiful and there are a couple of watersports centres as well.
Trianda beach is north-facing so onshore winds can, even in high summer, bring heavy swells and crashing waves. The crowds tend to thin out the further you get from Rhodes Town and it can get very much quieter when you reach the sand and pebble beach strip at the neighbouring beaches of Ialysos.
