There is so much more to do in Rhodes than drink, did you know there is the largest inhabited medieval city in Europe? Its amazing, you can walk around the castle, in the moat, through the cobbled streets!

Also don't miss Filerimos, Kamiros, Lindos, these are must see, also the butterfly valley is amazing, every year thousands of butterflies are attracted to this valley, they line the tree trunks, it s really interesting and calm, best of all no scientist can explain why they are attracted to this particular valley!

Let me know if you want more advice!

Some good ideas from Sara P. There's also boat trips to neighbouring islands and Turkey.

It depends on your resort really - some are more geared to couples, some singles, some family resorts. Let us know where you're staying and i'll try to pass on a bit more info.

I'm going to Falaraki in Aug and although most people who go there just tend to get drunk & sleep, me n my bf would like to be able 2do different things in the day.

Can anyone suggest any good trips available? And any good places that are worth a visit? We won't be hiring a car, so we'll be using public transport... cabs n buses etc.

Thanks x :lol:

Rhodes Town and Lindos are both very easy to get to by local bus from Faliraki. The boat trip to Symi is a pleasant day in the sun - you can organise this yourself or your rep will be able to arrange tickets including transfer to and from your accommodation.
West coast attractions such as Filerimos and Ancient Kamiros can be reached by local transport too but you have to change in Rhodes Town.

Plenty to do in Rhodes town at night. Go to Orfanidou St.---Bar Street. Plenty of pubs, bars and clubs 'til the wee small hours! In a taxi it's not far from Faliraki. Have a good time.

Where/when you going to Faliraki? We went last year and loved it. Great weather, and nice atmosphere (not lairy).

Regularly got the bus into rhodes town, about 25mins and only about 4-5 euro's.

You must visit the waterpark! You can get the bus there or buy a ticket from a travel agent there

Have fun!

There are no cash machines in the Alexia but at least 3 across the road. Have a good holiday

You can scuba dive from Kalithea, just next door to Faliraki. Lidos is very pretty for a day visit too. I loved the Seven Springs, its very sheltered and out of the heat there.

If you want to shop, Rhodes Town is a must, or a day trip to Turkey.

Yes, there's an ATM in Pefkos, one in Lardos and two in Lindos. You can also use Maestro to pay in most restaurants and shops.
