Overview:

Faliraki is one of the busiest and liveliest resorts on the island. Ideal for spending days on the beach and going wild at night. It is situated on the east coast of Rhodes and is just nine miles (8km) south of the capital, Rhodes Town. Faliraki is renowned for its four-mile (2km) stretch of sandy beach that is packed with deckchairs, umbrellas and sunbeds, and offers every kind of water-based activity from parasailing to jet skis. It is possible to do day boat trips around the other small bays of Faliraki, including Kathara Bay, which is one of the most picturesque on the island, and has a nudist beach at one end. Anthony Quinn Bay is famous for the filming of The Guns of Navarone . There are also several, little-developed beaches between Faliraki and Lindos, such as the pebbled Traganou beach, and all the beaches are desirably clean with crystal waters. Faliraki is also well known for its nightlife and is popular with younger visitors seeking lots of action, both day and night.

Locality:

Faliraki is located on the NE coast, 6 mls S of Rhodes Town, 12 mls SE of Rhodes airport. It is spread along a sandy beach of the same name.

Entertainment/Facilities/Attractions/Things to do:

Larger hotels on the outskirts cater for all market types, especially families, while the centre is really only suitable for the young.

Accommodation here ranges from the larger A-class hotels, which offer a wide range of facilities to very basic, small hotels and rooms which are available in the centre.

The popular 4-ml-long sandy beach extending the length of the resort has a full range of water sports; sun umbrellas and sunbeds available. Although the beach is a favourite amongst visitors it can packed like sardines in season.

Shopping options here aren't great, local shops offer cheap tourist souvenirs. Better shopping options in Rhodes Town.

Daytime activities in Faliraki tend to be 'beach' based for the families and 'bar' based for the youngsters. In the summer by night Faliraki's thoughtfully named 'Club Street' and 'Bar Street' come to life and whilst the action is set only on 2 streets there is no shortage of places to boogie, in the winter you'd be forgiven in thinking these two streets were a ghost town.
