Rhodes / Faliraki

Faliraki lies on the east coast of the Greek island of Rhodes, on the Aegean Sea. It is located 9 miles south of Rhodes Town, the capital. Faliraki lies on a narrow, flat coastal plain, backed by low hills.

Faliraki is Rhode?s prime party resort. Its reputation is based on British 18-30?s on cheap holidays searching for cheap booze and all-night discos.

This purpose-built is filled with pubs and discos, and really only comes to life at night. Hence Faliraki remains a popular destination for the full-on party and binge drinking crowd.

Traditional Greek tavernas are out-numbered by British-style pubs which serve pub grub and all-day English breakfast. There are also pizzerias, steak houses, and Chinese and Indian restaurants. Faliraki is home to one of the few McDonalds on the Greek islands.

Faliraki has a 3 mile long stretch of sand, with sunbeds and umbrellas for hire, watersports facilities including doughnut rings, banana boats, water-skiing, jet-skiing, plus bungee jumping.

South of the main beach there are the quieter beaches of Kathara Bay (sandy) and Anthony Quinn Beach (pebbly). In between these two beaches there is also a nudist beach.

Night-time activities centre on Ermou (Bar Street) and Kalithea (Club Street). The most popular dance venues are Bed, with guest DJs from London?s Cream and Liquid, spread over two levels with a glass floor between them.

The most popular bar is Ziggy?s, known for its notorious mind-blowing fishbowl cocktails (where up to 20 people use straws to drink from the same bowl). There are also lots of bars which offer karaoke and big screen TV.
