Theme bars have sprung up to attract the trendy, but it is possible to find a traditional (type) taverna selling the usual Greek fayre.

During the day the long golden sandy Faliraki beach is packed with sun worshipers. Jet skis, wind surfing, sailing, ringos, parasailing and much more can be found there, at a price. Faliraki, like all of the eastern resorts, does not suffer from the strong winds that blow from the north, but gets extremely hot in the high season, so take the sun screens that have big numbers. Umbrellas and sunbeds are widely available and reasonably cheap.

Faliraki has a great advantage in that it is so close to Rhodes Town. Although a little too far to walk, a taxi will take you to the capital, but agree a price with the driver first. Another choice would be the bus, but take care, Greek bus time tables are notorious for being inaccurate. Whatever form of transport you choose, the end result is well worth it. A few evenings in Rhodes Town will compensate those travelers who may not want to dance the night away.

The road through the centre of Faliraki is the main highway from Rhodes Town, past Lindos and through to Lardos, and so busses can be easily found that reach these other resorts, especially up to mid afternoon. Beaches at Pefkos and Lardos may suit people wanting a quieter day in the sun.

Few, if any, resorts in Greece cater for wheelchairs, but Faliraki is flat and should be considered for the less mobile.

It takes between half an hour to an hour to make the journey from Rhodes International Airport to the centre of Faliraki.
