Apollo Blue enjoys a privileged spot in Faliraki on Rhodes’ east coast, opening straight onto a long stretch of sand and gently shelving sea. The immediate vibe is laid-back and beachy, yet you’re just a short walk from bars, cafés and tavernas if you fancy a change of scene.

Spend lazy days on the Blue Flag sands, head to the nearby waterpark for family thrills, or drive up the coast for quiet coves and viewpoints. Faliraki itself has softened in recent years – its legendary nightlife is still there but much more contained, leaving plenty of space for relaxed seaside holidays.

Dining at Apollo Blue focuses on relaxed Mediterranean flavours and sea views, with flexible options for All Inclusive or Half Board stays.

Main Restaurant
The hotel’s buffet restaurant serves breakfast and dinner, with a mix of Greek and international dishes and live show-cooking stations. Expect fresh salads, grilled meats, local specialities and plenty of choice for kids. Smart-casual dress is requested (no beachwear, long trousers for gentlemen at dinner).

Taverna Blue
Set closer to the water, Taverna Blue serves buffet-style lunch, as well as à la carte and buffet dinners and snacks during the season (typically 01 Apr–07 Nov, opening days subject to occupancy). Under the All Inclusive package, lunch is usually taken here, and guests are normally entitled to dine here for dinner once per stay (reservation required, subject to availability).

Bars
• Lobby Bar – an elegant indoor-outdoor space, open roughly 18:00–00:30, ideal for a pre-dinner aperitif or late-night cocktail.
• Pool Bar – open approximately 09:00–00:30, serving daytime drinks, coffees and cocktails within easy reach of your lounger.

Availability, opening hours and inclusions can vary by season and board basis – use them as a flexible guideline rather than a guarantee.

Pools
Apollo Blue features two freshwater outdoor pools, framed by neat lawns and wide terraces with sunbeds and parasols for long, lazy days. Both pools usually allow inflatables and have clearly designated sunbathing areas – ideal for families who like to mix beach time with pool fun.

Seasonal notes: opening dates typically run from early April to early November, but precise dates and facilities may vary slightly each year depending on weather and occupancy.
