Its is still a favourite for 18-30's and every summer groups of lads and girls descend on Faliraki for the cheap drinks, long summer days and hectic party nights.

Faliraki is not as busy as it was back in its heyday of 1998-2003 as the local authorities clamped down on bar crawls and general drunkenness that saw Faliraki hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Even now families choose Faliraki as a place to go as the club scene is much more civilised and bar crawls are kept to a minimum with most bar crawl guests being in their late 20's rather than teens.
