Faliraki Holiday Guide
Faliraki is situated 14km from Rhodes town on the east side
of the island and has some of the best sandy beaches on the island. Faliraki is
still the party resort of the island with a long street of bars and clubs. 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.

Faliraki - Nightlife
The first thing people want to know is what is the nightlife
like in Faliraki. Faliraki nightlife is very hectic and fun filled with cheap 2
for 1 drinks being served in most places with 2 bottles of local beer coming in at
around 5 euros. Most people head out around 10-11 PM to save money and head to bar
street, this is the main strip and where you will find all the pubs in Faliraki,
you also have Club street where you find most of the clubs in the resort.
A firm favourite
of many tourists has to be Q-Club with its 3 floors of mixed music including house,
trance and pop music, great for those who want to try a bit of everything. You’ve
got Liquid Club which again plays mostly dance and the latest chart hits and BED
which hosts celebrity DJs during the summer with themed nights like Hed Kandi.
If
its just pubs you want to aim for, or at least find out where the best are to kick
the night off, then firstly head to Ziggys which does the infamous HeadF**ker cocktails.
Also try Jamaica bar and Chaplin's bar. If its karaoke you want then a few of the
bars supply this including Bunnys Pub and Champers Bar.
Faliraki Daytime
The beach of Faliraki stretches for over 3 miles and during the summer
is packed full of sun worshippers from all over the world, the beaches here are
clean and well kept with beach bars providing you with an assortment of drinks and
snacks.
If you want to get a good spot on the beach its advised you arrive early and
get your towel down, as most people will still be in bed with a hangover from the
previous night out in Faliraki town. If your looking for a quieter beach then head
down as far as you can until you reach Kathara Bay or Anthony Quinn beach, due to
their location and the fact its shingle and pebbles rather than sand these beaches
are much quieter.
On the beaches of Faliraki there is plenty to do including watersports,
like water skiing, jet skis, donut rides and the banana boat ride. These are all
available at local costs, and usually the prices range from 10 to 25 euros depending
on what you want to do.
If lounging around on the beach is not for you then Faliraki has a host of little
gift shops and souvenir shops with local goods and produce, many shops sell hand
crafted gifts for you to take home. If you have brought the family to Faliraki then
try taking them too Faliraki Water Park or even the Luna park fun fair and go-kart
track.

If its traditional Greek food your after then your best travelling
out of Faliraki into the other villages and towns. Faliraki is a purpose built resort
for the mainly British holidaymaker's and as such is filled with British style restaurants
and fast food places. The food is good and well priced, but don’t expect authentic
Greek cooking in many of the restaurants in the centre, but the further out of Faliraki
square you go you will find some nice restaurants and Tavernas.
If you don’t want to travel out of Faliraki there is The Monastery, some way out
of town near the Matina Hotel, which serves up authentic Greek food and is very popular
with holidaymaker's and locals alike. Another great restaurant is Sizzlers Steak
bar which gets very busy during the summer, and serves up slabs of steak in a variety
of sauces.
