welcome to Faliraki in Rhodes island - GREECE

Faliraki is located in the north of the island of Rhodes, about 14 km (9 miles) from the Harbor and the city of Rhodes and about the same distance from Rhodes International Airport. This beautiful resort is part of the Municipality of Kalithea. Faliraki was established in the late sixties, with just a couple of small tavernas, Greek tourists and fishermen. Up until the end of the sixties, Faliraki was just another agricultural area, well known for the superb tasting grapes, figs and tomatoes. In the early seventies, Faliraki started to attract more and more tourists from many parts of Europe. Within a few years thanks to the beautiful and long sandy beach Faliraki had many hotels and Rental apartments able to accommodate for several thousands of tourists. The great boom in tourism took place in the eighties and Faliraki became the largest and most popular resort of Rhodes island.

Today, Faliraki, with its entire infrastructure, is capable of accommodating about 45,000 tourists on a daily basis. It offers visitors of all ages and all tastes and budgets, from the most expensive hotels to the family owned-catering Apartments and Studios, which during the last 3-4 years tremendously upgraded their service and quality.
