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 existence 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
gawkers 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.
