Location
Apollo Beach enjoys a prime position in Faliraki, right on one of Rhodes’ best-known sandy beaches. By day you can step straight from the hotel’s lawned gardens onto the sand and into the calm, clear sea. When you’re ready for shops, bars and a choice of eateries, the resort centre is a short, level walk away.
Rhodes Town, with its UNESCO-listed medieval Old Town, is around 8km away, making it an easy half-day or evening trip by bus, taxi or hire car. Faliraki itself has mellowed over the years; there’s still nightlife if you want it, but also family-friendly tavernas, a pretty little fishing harbour at St Apostolos and easy access to the island’s waterpark and other Blue Flag beaches.
