Hi,
I need some advice please. Me and my partner (both in our early 30's) are thinking of spending 1 week in Rhodes at the end of August. We want to see Lindos Acropolis, Rhodes Old Town and a trip to the waterpark in Faliraki is a must. I think staying somewhere in the North East of Rhodes is probably the best central location for these sightseeing trips as we don't want to be travelling for hours each day but not sure exactly which resort to stay in. We're not into clubbing but we would like somewhere with a pool on a SC or BB basis within a 10-15 mins walk of a good selection of restaurants & a sandy beach.
I've read reports that Faliraki has changed a lot since its 18-30 clubbing days but am worried its still going to be full of drunken, noisy louts. Kalithea sounds nice too but the package deals all seem to be all inclusive, which we don't want. We don't mind doing a DIY holiday as we've done that before.
Please help. Any suggestions welcome, especailly for hotels.
Ixia would be a good choice, you can go to Lindos on the bus, although you have to go to Rhodes Town get it.
Taxis are 6 euro to Rhodes Town or 2 euro on the bus. Ixia is quieter than Rhodes Town but near enough to visit.
If you go to Lindos take plenty of water, its hot., bus service is good to all parts of the island but tend to stick to coast roads.

I would agree about Ixia, the only hesitation is that the beach is not sandy and it can be quite windy if you are looking to lay on the beach all day. That said the breeze can be very welcome.
Take a look @ Sun & Sea apartments available thru Thomas Cook or Travel Republic. In a quiet area of Faliraki called Kathara Bay
Thanks for the advice. I'll certainly look up the Sun & Sea Apts. I think Ixia isn't quite for us. The pebbly beach and wind puts us off and from what I've read most of the hotels are on a really busy road so might be quite noisy when trying to sleep.
I think we're thinking of somewhere either on the outskirts of Faliraki or Afandou.
Any advice welcome
Thank You

I was going to suggest Afandou
But from your other post it seems you have already decided that as an option. I would definitely recommend getting a car to get around.
There are some great places to eat in Faliraki and it is not the clubbers paradise it used to be - there is still a good nightlife but equally there are some quieter spots. We had an excellent meal in a beach side restaurant last june (unfortunately I cannot remember it's name but it was across the road from the KFC - and that isn't as bad as it sounds
)
My brother raves about Ixia - but I have to say we prefer the Lindos/Haraki/Stegna region to stay then drive all round the island.

Why don't you consider Rhodes Town as a location. It has two beaches (one on the calm east coast and one on the west coast). Lots of interesting places to visit, including the fantastic Old Town, all within walking distance and a good base location to travel down the east and west coasts to other parts of the island by buses, taxis or hire car .
Rhodes Town and the nearby Old Town also has the largest selection of bars and restaurants compared with anywhere else on the island
