Faliraki (Greece)

When my sister first decided to book us a last minute holiday I was very excited. Work was getting very boring and I was glad to be getting away. However when I found out it was in Falaraki I was a bit spectacle. One because of all the bad press it had and two because going out clubbing wasn’t really my thing. When we arrived to be honest we weren’t very impressed. The roads were very dusty and a lot of the buildings were half built and there were mad men on scoters every where. On our journey to the ‘Hotel’ we did notice that some buildings had a lot of care taken over them and they were ... more

INTRODUCTION Faliraki is a resort on the Greek Island of Rhodes. Commonly referred to as "full-of-crap-y", it has had a lot of bad press recently; first, a fly-on-the-wall TV programme was filmed there, featuring British youngsters and their drunken, loutish behaviour, and more recently, there have been reports about the seedier side of the resort: drugs, robbery, rape. Unfortunately, none of this had reached the ears of my husband or me, by the time that we booked a last-minute break to the resort! Hmmm, we wondered why it was so impossibly cheap? LOCATION The flight to Rhodes took around ... more

Rodes, Falaraki. Forget Ibiza, this is the place to go to party! I went to Falaraki in Rhodes for my first ever lads holiday and I really had a good time. Falaraki itself is not the best looking resort in the world, most of the buildings have no proper roofs (so the landlords dont have to pay roof tax) and the resort is spidered with loads of nasty looking roads and loads of traffic (watch out for the mad Greeks on their scooters). But take a short walk down to the beach and you get an amazing view of crystal clear waters, clean beaches and beautiful mountains. During the day time there is ... more

Falaraki on Rhodos Island in Greece, is an ugly little coastal town, with an absolutely gorgeous long sand beach all along. It is apparent that this little place has the ambition to become Greek Ibiza, a meeting place for hedonists and young people. However, lets not forget that Ibiza is a meeting point for celebrities just as well, because hedonistic issue on Ibiza is lifted on a much higher level, ever since French Coast became overloaded with rich European and American tourists with far more snobbish high class flair in it. Therefor, Falaraki stands well for Greek Ibiza, only in Greece and ... more

Faliraki is a bay on the island of Rhodes. It's beautiful by day and night and offers anything a tourist can want. It's perfect if you're 18 and leaving college, about to embark on uni and in want of one or two last weeks away with your friends and away from your parents. There are a vast amount of water sports, (of which I chose to Parascend from the back of a boat) as well as a bungy jump (of which I did the second day of my holiday) and a reverse bungy, which I didn't have time to do. The bay is fairly calm, it's hardly the west coast of France so there are no rapids but this just makes it ... more
