Where to Stay

 

Lindos

 

Lindos is a pretty little village that shows you the typical way of Greek island life. Think whitewashed houses, pedestrian streets and wandering donkeys. Tucked away among the cobbled streets and alleyways you'll find lively bars and restaurants where you can dine in full view of Lindos' acropolis.

 

Kolymbia

 

In Kolymbia you'll find quiet coves where sunbathers can go to get away from the crowds. It's halfway between Faliraki and Lindos and it's surprising that it's managed to stay a secret for so long. All the better for you as there'll be plenty of room to spread out along the Blue Flag beach. The main road, Eucalyptus Road leads away from the beach and is lined with a few cafés, bars and restaurants that stay open after dark.

 

Pefkos

 

Pefkos takes its name from the pine trees which line the sandy Blue Flag beach. A former fishing village, Pefkos certainly hasn't lost its authenticity - you'll find friendly locals in the bars and restaurants along the 2 main streets. Nightlife here is low-key but Rhodes Town and Lindos are close by should you want to up the pace of life.

 

Faliraki

 

Faliraki should need no introduction. It's famously the hangout of the 18-30 party crowd due to the throng of bars and clubs. There's more to Faliraki than meets the eye though, it comes with a spotlessly clean beach and a fantastic waterpark.

 

Things to do

 

Nature

 

If you like to be active type then a trek up Mount. Atavyros, the highest mountain in Rhodes, is certainly rewarding. You'll get beautiful views across the whole of the island not to mention the walk itself is incredibly scenic.

 

Family Attractions

 

You're surrounded by history on Rhodes holidays. Some of the ancient ruins here date back to the time of the Trojan War. You'll discover Rhodes past from the Terracotta topped churches from the Byzantine era to the Ottoman minarets from the Turkish rule.

The Faliraki waterpark is also a fun-filled day out with rides and slides suitable for the whole family.

Faliraki is the place to go for a real party with places you can party all night. Rhodes Town is also a good choice for nightlife with many contemporary bars.

Quieter than expected
Not really a party place, but a cool resort all the same. Rhodes Town is a really busy place, and there's still lots to do and a good nightlife but not as crasy maybe as some of hte other areas of the island like Faliraki!!
