A very popular and busy tourist resort on the north-east coast of Rhodes, which, unfortunately,

has gained a questionable reputation recently following well-publicised rapes and other offences.

The only official naturist beach on Rhodes is 3 km south of the centre of Faliraki. It can be

approached by walking as far south as you can along Faliraki beach. Access by road is achieved

by turning left (from the north) or right (from the south) at the traffic lights on the main road just

outside Faliraki. Immediately take the left of the two forks and follow the road, bearing right at

the junction and then past Muses Hotel . After a sign indicating 'swimming pool-caf bar' there is

another indicating 'nudist beach - FKK strand'. A short dirt track leads up to the cliff edge

overlooking the beach. Parking is possible here. Presently you can access the middle of the beach

via a track running down the cliff or via an easy slope to the north end of the beach.

There are three sections to the beach - one north of the taverna and a further two to the south.

The sea around the beach is buoyed off to afford safe swimming and keep the banana boat folk at

a safe distance. The two sections at either side of the taverna are of pebble and shingle with about

40-50 parasols in each section. There is easier access to the sea from the northern section despite

a rocky outcrop. The furthest southerly section is rocky near the sea edge but further back boasts

more sand and tree cover. There are no facilities in this third section.

The beach is a 100% nude, made up of single men and women, couples and families with young

children. The majority of the visitors are Greek, German, Austrian and East European but there

are a few British. The furthest, most southerly section largely attracts men who keep themselves

to themselves.
