Faliraki holidays
Rhodes' liveliest resort: a long sandy beach, a water park, and a strip that wakes up after dark. Faliraki has grown up, and it's all the better for it.
Why choose Faliraki?
Faliraki is the fun one on Rhodes. A wide sandy beach with sunbeds and water sports, a big water park for the kids, and a bar strip that's calmer than its reputation these days. It's a proper all-rounder.
It's a 20-minute transfer from the airport and 30 minutes from Rhodes Town, so you can be on the beach an hour after landing and still explore the island's history on a day off.
Unmissable Faliraki.
Splash at Faliraki Water Park
Slides, a lazy river and a wave pool. The biggest water park on Rhodes, right in the resort.
Relax on Faliraki Beach
A long, wide, sandy beach with shallow water. Sunbeds, tavernas and water sports all along the front.
Visit Anthony Quinn Bay
A gorgeous pebbly cove with crystal water, named after the actor who filmed here. Bring a mask and snorkel.
Night out on the strip
Bars, restaurants and a few clubs. Livelier than its current reputation suggests, but no longer wild.
