The Faliraki Nudist Beach

by adrian kinley

Faliraki is on the Greek island of Rhodes and is one of the liveliest resorts in the Mediterranean. Known for its bars, clubs and all night beach parties, it has been a popular destination for the under 30's for quite some time.

While most of the island sleeps off its hangover after a nights partying, some of the islands other tourists spend the morning/mid afternoon at the Faliraki nudist beach.

Most of the party crowd are not even aware of its existance as it is at the very southern end of the resort as you head into the hills. It can only be reached via a path that takes you over a hill and then winds down to sea level. It is sign posted FKK for the German tourists and it only takes a few minutes to follow the path. Once their you will find a nice secluded beach, small bar, sun loungers and umbrellas

You will find Faliraki nudist beach surrounded by cliffs. This makes it a real sun trap and during the high season the afternoons can be too hot with temperatures regularly over 40c. It is because of this that most head to there in the early morning.

Nudists come in all shapes and sizes and you won't find anyone trying to attain that "perfect beach look" on one of these beaches. In fact, the pressure to have the body of a greek god or goddess is well and truly off, so if you have never experienced naturism and will be taking a holiday in Rhodes, why not give Faliraki nudist beach a try?

Because it cannot be reached without coming down the path which has plenty of signs in all languages stating it is a nudist beach, you will not find gawpers hanging around as you do at some nudist beaches.

If you are feeling a little shy you will find plenty of small alcoves within the rocks for you to bathe in a little more privacy. There is also some sand dunes at the top of the hill that you can use although you are well away from the sea.

Their are several apartments and hotels very close to the beach. If you plan on using it regularly you may wish to check out Hotel Matina which is literally 10 minutes walk from reception to Faliraki nudist beach.
