Faliraki This is Rhodes' action resort. Go there to party. 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'.
Rhodes Old Town The biggest city on the island and seat of the local government, also the oldest inhabited medieval town in Europe.
