The sandy beach of Faliraki is situated at the eastern coast of Rhodes, at a distance of some 12-16 kilometers far from the town of Rhodes ant the South. It is a more than 5 kilometers long beach, in front of the homonymous tourist resort. Any kind of facilities for accommodation, food and drink, and amusement are available in the settlement. The beach is possibly the best organized of the beaches of Rhodes and it is the one attracting the major number of tourists. It is very popular both to the Greeks and foreign tourists, especially the British. An impressive multi-ethnic and multi-cultural blend joins at this beach and people move around any time of the day or night. The beach is long but not boring at all. You will find parts with fine golden sun, or with small rocks, you will find places with fine pebbles and others with dark sand. There are better and less organized parts; some of the former are found in front of the hotels and facilities are usually offered only to their clients. If you choose the organized parts you will have the swimming and sunbathing facilities (umbrellas, sun beds) and facilities for sea sports. But whatever part you choose, you will enjoy a crystal clear blue see with cool and clean water. Health services are available in Faliraki (a First Aid Station), at the nearby Kalythies (some 2 kilometers western to the beach), where you will find a local Medical Center, as well as at the town of Rhodes, 12 kilometers far from Faliraki at the North. Access to the beach from the town of Rhodes is easy by public bus, running frequently, by taxi (a taxi station is available in the resort) as well as by rented or private car and motorbikes. Of course, if you stay in a nearby hotel, you will have access to the beach also on foot.
