Faliraki holidays

However, Faliraki also attracts family visitors, especially those looking for a wide, sandy beach with clean, shallow waters in which the children can splash and paddle all day. There are a number of excellent family hotels in Faliraki. And with one of the island’s best water parks on the doorstep, there are facilities for all ages in this fun-filled resort.

Quieter hotels, including those with a strong family focus, are mostly located on the outskirts of the resort, where evenings are a little more hushed. Close to the centre of town, which sees a huge influx of visitors on balmy nights in July and August, are many self-catering studio and apartment blocks, with some hotels offering stays on a bed-and-breakfast or half-board basis. Stay close to town and you are likely to find a lively scene around the swimming pool, with some hotels recruiting DJs to spin tunes at the water’s edge.

Holidays in Faliraki can be as busy or as chilled as you want them to be. Here are just a few ideas of things to do in Rhodes…

Grown-up families: Don’t miss the chance to explore the medieval beauty of Rhodes Town. Visitors can hop aboard a water taxi or make the 20-minute journey by road to reach Rhodes Town from Faliraki. Highlights include the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes, which was once a summer bolthole for Mussolini.

Relaxing: The vast size of the beachfront at Faliraki means you can find a quiet spot away from the bungee jumping, banana boats and pumping bars of the main drag of sand. Walk beyond the harbour to Kathara Bay to find a more peaceful place to lay your towel.

Active types: Can’t sit still and read a book? That’s not a problem in Faliraki, where almost every kind of water sport is available. Wakeboarding, water-skiing, parasailing… whatever the latest wave-based craze, you can have a go here.

Free and cheap: Having a good time in Faliraki can eat into a holiday budget, with drinks, parties, and water sports taking a bite out of your wad. So check online before you go to see if you can get cheap advance deals on party excursions and water park entry.

Shopping: Dip in and out of the shops in Rhodes Old Town, where a cobbled labyrinth of alleyways houses all kinds of stores, with bargains to be snapped up on jewellery, leather goods, clothes and souvenirs.
