Visitor Reviews

A recent visitor to Faliraki took to TripAdvisor to commend the location, stating: "If you love a sandy beach, then this is the place for you. There are loads of things to do, many watersports, boat trips to take, or just let the kids play on the sand or have a paddle in the cool, blue sea. Wonderful place, with many lovely restaurants serving authentic Greek food."

Another commented: "Very clean sea and beach. Many shops and very good prices... There are bars and restaurants with relatively good prices." Other visitors praised the beach for its "panoramic views", "lovely beach bars" and "warm and crystal-clear" waters.

Not everyone was left impressed by the beach, however, with one disgruntled visitor grumbling: "Faliraki is totally run down", while another noted: "It's a one-horse town with most of the restaurants, bars, etc. closed in April. Nothing to say that is good about the town."
