Tourism

Faliraki is a popular tourist destination with a 5 km stretch of sand and 12 FEE Blue Flags. At the Southern end of Faliraki beach there is an official naturist beach called Mandomata Beach, which has a small tavern as well as a couple of public toilets. Faliraki has rediscovered itself as a cosmopolitan, vibrant centre of tourism catering to many nationalities and all age groups. Faliraki boasts the largest water park in Greece,^[1] a state-of-the-art bowling park, a history park, and a fun-park for families and younger children. The centre of the town, particularly in July and August, is buzzing with younger children and families. As well as traditional Greek cuisine there are restaurants specialising in Chinese, Mexican, Italian and British cuisine. Along the beach front there are taverns, bars, restaurants, cafeterias and tourist shops. The fishing harbour of St Apostolos is a hub of activity especially in the morning, whilst the fishing boats unload their catch, the day cruisers (direct to Lindos, Rhodes Town & beaches) depart and locals congregate for their coffee.
