Faliraki, Rhodes

For those of you who read my last travel report on Cyprus, you will know that this was my best ever holiday, mainly because it was where I got married. But my last holiday to Rhodes came a close second and takes some beating. After much umming and ahhing about where we were going to go for our summer holiday 2 years ago we decided to go to Greece for the first time. Cyprus had got really expensive since our last visit, and I was bored of Spain, so ...
...brochure we found the Hotel Espirides in Portland Direct's summer brochure. It looked ideal. It was located just on the outskirts of Faliraki in an area called Kalithea. We thought this would be perfect as it would be away from the noisy nightlife, this being important as our daughter was 4 at the time, and we are past night-clubbing. Still, don't let the fact that Faliraki is not a place to go if you don't like rowdy pubs and clubs. We travelled ...

Review of Faliraki, Rhodes

Sometimes I get wound up when I know people are dissing Faliraki. So here's a Non-Biased Opinion of mine. Faliraki is like any other tourist destination: Its popular, Its got clubs, restaurants many hotels and lots of british people. Being Rape Captial made my heart sink. Because its not Falirakis fault? Young people are binge drinking in the famous Bar Street and then walking home alone. Wherever you are in the world look after youself. The same ...
...turkey! Location: Located Very close to Rhodes Town which has everything From Shops such a 3 Floored 'Zara' To many other local fashion shops. Faliraki itself is on the beach and is a very popular location, Bus services are great which means you can catch a bus to Rhodes town and it takes you 10 minutes. Rhodes is like any other mediterranean Island and has dusty roads in rural areas! I Had to laugh when i saw dusty roads as being a disadvantage ...

Review of Faliraki, Rhodes

I went to Faliraki in Rhodes with the girls about 7 years ago (gulp, is it really that long?!) and had a great time. There were 5 of us that went - 3 of us in one apartment and the other 2 (who had booked a few weeks after us) in different accommodation, not far away. We had a great holiday, though it wasn't the most rowdy girls holiday I've been on! Faliraki wasn't as well-known then as it is now - I'm sure if I went back now, there'd be loads ...
...already, but there was room for more! We tended to stick to the same bars most nights - our favourite was George's Bar, where there was cheap drinks, "spin the wheel" (whatever it landed on was on special offer for 10 mins) and dancing on the bar - a real good laugh. We actually ventured into Rhodes Town one day - but that was only because one of the girls had fallen off a kerb while drunk and we had to take her to the hospital in Rhodes Town - ...

Review of Faliraki, Rhodes

...the media give you of Faliraki, one small town on the island of Rhodes packed full of bars, clubs and restaurants, are of huge groups of British tourists- all members of the 18/30 club or on some package holiday- having drink poured directly down their throats, staggering along the streets and disappearing into dark alleys together. So this is, partially, what I was expecting when we got out to Billy's Apartments in Faliraki. We got in at four in ...
...when someone recognises you in Faliraki, they look out for you. And if you're with friends who will look after you too, you've got it made. My eight friends and I spent a week in Faliraki without anything untoward or non-consensual happening, and without staying in every night. Lots of shots were consumed. One night we spent sixty euros on drink for the apartment, and another we stayed out until half seven in the morning and watched the sunrise from ...

...deal that took us to Faliraki, Rhodes. Loads of our friends had been there during the very busy summer months and described it as the most amazing place that they had never wanted to leave. We ahd to go. After a comfortable journey that did not take too long, we arrived at our hotel 'The Venezia' at about five in the morning, delighted to find a twenty four hour bar! In the morning, we had a meeting with the reps who told us of all the excursions ...
...this was a place that served as a perfect base if you wanted to visit various sights, Islands etc.Unfortunately, myself and my friend were strapped for cash, and we only got to go on one which was a trip to a village absolutely in the middle of nowhere, for easter day, where there was greek dancing, and a big meal with free wine put on for us. It was a truly fantastic day. We had hoped to visit lindos also, which was apparently fantastic, the transport ...
