Here are some photos of Faliraki in Rhodes (Rodos). We went to Faliraki in October 2005 and as you can see from these Faliraki photos, Rhodes is a beautiful island. We stayed at the Elpida Studios which were great. The apartments are literally about 30 metres from Faliraki beach, so you couldn't get much closer! - The apartments are run by Tina who was brilliant, she was very friendly and cheerful and really looked after us well!

We got our breakfast each day at the pool bar each day and the prices were very reasonable (we got a sausage sarnie and sausage, egg and beans with 2 cans of pop for 9 Euros - the food was really nice and you can't grumble at the price!). The apartments were basic, but very clean - you do get a shower curtain which can be a bit of a novelty in Greece! - We stayed in room 113 which was on the top floor and we had a nice view of the sea the from the balcony. The apartment block and the pool area are on opposite sides of a road, but it wasn't really a problem as it's a narrow road and it was never busy anyway. The apartments are around a 20 minute walk from Faliraki's main nightlife. We found Faliraki itself to be a bit quiet we when we there, but that was to be expected really, as it was the last week of the season. There were still around 10 bars open in the Bar Street area though - and we still had a great time! There were loads of other bars which were closed at the time, with it being the end of season, so I'm sure it would be a lot busier if you went earlier in the year. Some of our favourite bars on Bar Street were: the Jamaica Bar (run by Steve, his brother and a guy called Flick behind the bar - they're great guys and they have good prices too), Oscar's bar was good, Champer's bar (cool music) and Vibe's (again, cool music!). If you head up to the top of Bar Street and turn right - this takes you on to Club Street. As it was the last week of season, again most places along here were closed - but we found one good bar called Kelly's Irish Bar which was still open. It is a really nice, family orientated bar, with karaoke on each night. They also have good beer on draught! (Carling extra cold). It's only a couple of hundred yards or so along, on the left hand side of the road - so it's worth a look.
A lot of the supermarkets were closed when we went, however the ones that were open seemed more like our corner shops really. If you need bread I would go early! - as we went in the afternoon on our first day and spent 2 hours looking for bread! (by the way, there is a nice baker's shop on Bar Street - near the top, on the left - you might like to try some fresh baked bread - it was lovely!) The only big supermarket we could find was the AB Supermarket. It's on the next street up from Club Street (running parallel to Club Street) and is a few hundred metres along on the right hand side - and they seemed to have pretty much everything you need.
There are plenty restaurants in Faliraki too and some also some Greek tavernas - if you need a snack on the way home, there are plenty of take away places too. One we really liked was Fast Food Georges at the bottom of Bar Street on the left - give him a try, he does great pizza!
Overall, as I've said, Faliraki was a bit quiet when we went - having said that though - it was still a good week and the weather was red hot! (still in the 80's!).
