Situated on the east coast of Rhodes, the island's most
developed beach resort is just nine miles (8km) south of the
capital, Rhodes Town. Faliraki is renowned for its four-mile (2km)
stretch of sandy beach that is packed with deckchairs, umbrellas
and sunbeds, and offers every kind of water-based activity from
parasailing to jet skis. It is possible to do day boat trips around
the other small bays of Faliraki, including Kathara Bay, which is
one of the most picturesque on the island, and has a nudist beach
at one end. Anthony Quinn Bay is famous for the filming of
TheGuns of Navarone. There are also several, little-developed
beaches between Faliraki and Lindos, such as the pebbled Traganou
beach, and all the beaches are desirably clean with crystal waters.
Faliraki is also well known for its nightlife and is popular with
younger visitors seeking lots of action, both day and night.
