Beach adventures

Luckily, Faliraki holidays have plenty in store for you as there’s a huge range of activities you can indulge in by the beach. Explore the air above the sea by parasailing, banana flying, or paragliding. If you really are an adrenaline junky, you can hire a Ringo excursion for an exhilarating ride across the waves.

Another way of exploring the sea is to take a boat cruise. Some of the hire companies use historical schooners so you’ll be setting off in style wherever you choose to explore. The area around Faliraki is famous for its pirate caves, secret coves and underwater archaeological treasures. There’s a vast collection of boat trips on offer, whether you like to zoom about and get your heart racing, cruise out to some hidden coves for a BBQ, or enjoy the sunset from the water.

Fun, fun, fun

The Faliraki Waterpark will certainly keep boredom at bay – both adults and kids will have an awesome time on the Turbo and the Space Ball. Try the Kamikaze rides, they are exciting enough to satisfy all who have a daredevil spirit. Admission prices are quite reasonable and you can make good savings if booking for more than one day – plus, the park offers a free shuttle bus from Rhodes Town to the park, so that’s even more savings.

If all the heat is getting a bit much and you’re trying to seek out shade, then head off into town and enjoy the pleasures of the Faliraki’s Sky Bowling Club. Alternatively, mini golf is a fantastic way to laugh and unwind and Faliraki Mini Golf in the centre of town is the place to check out all of this type of action. This can be tons of fun for a family day out, or to do something spontaneous just the two of you.

Retail therapy

Everyone loves a spot of shopping when on holiday and Faliraki does not disappoint. You’ll find plenty of places to feed your retail habit here. Look out for good-quality jewellery and, if you’re in need of a unique memento from your trip, there’s a gold and silver workshop – Mastoras Silver – just outside town, where you’ll be able to buy an individually designed item. This can be perfect for a special gift.

The Faliraki shopping centre is conveniently located in the resort centre and this is a fantastic place to pick up local souvenirs and leather goods. If you want to travel out of resort, Rhodes Town, with its plethora of stylish shops, is easy to get to from Faliraki. Clothes shopping is a dream here – the New Market is the place to visit for upscale and stylish fashion garments.
