- Faliraki Rhodes' "action resort". Go there to party, everything else is better somewhere else - although the hotels north from Faliraki are much quieter. Nice beaches, not as windy as on the west coast and served by good public transport. Hotels near the water park are family friendly and not so popular with the 'clubbers'.
