Faliraki beach Rhodes

FALIRAKI beach on Rhodes island is notorious for drunk British youth on a holiday spree. Faliraki is located about 14km from Rhodes Town.
The beach at Faliraki is 5km long and it is one of the most developed beaches on the island of Rhodes if not the whole of Greece. Faliraki beach is basically one big funfair on the sands and a big draw for youngsters out for a good time, preferably a noisy good time.
By day Faliraki beach is packed with holidaymakers and at night the narrow village streets throb to the pulse of disco, lit by garish neon and heaving with teenagers on the prowl for sex, drink or drugs - usually all three and at pretty much all at the same time.
Mountains of bad publicity after a series of rapes has forced Faliraki tour guides to tone down the bar crawling nights, but this is still no place to be alone and female at night unless you are looking for trouble.
Faliraki beach is hard flat sand that, by the height of the summer season is virtually covered end to end by sun beds and striped umbrellas. The Faliraki water is shallow at the shoreline and there are showers and toilets.
There is no shortage of bars and tavernas along the back of Faliraki beach though its all burgers and chips or coke and ice cream. Don't expect traditional Greek food here unless you count the cheap Giros kebabs.
Water sports run the full gamut on Faliraki beach, from banana rides to parasailing and there is even bungee jumping and sky surfing for the young daredevils.
The nearby Faliraki Water Park now boasts being the biggest in Europe and it's packed with water slides, a massive wave pool, aqua gym and more with a special area for children.
