It's All In The Name - 'Faliraki' may not sound as sweet as 'St Paul's, Lindos' but its wedding venues are sweeter!

It's All In The Name - 'Faliraki' may not sound as sweet as 'St Paul's

, Lindos' but its wedding venues are sweeter!

Faliraki, some years ago, when the government was in summer recess, took a beating from the British press that has yet to be forgotten. Given that consequently Ibiza, Agia Napa, Bodrum, Malia and other summer-sun resorts took similar beatings for exactly the same reasons, which have all been long obliterated from the British memory, why is it that the word 'Faliraki' causes many members of the general British public to recoil in disgust? I suggest to you that it is simply a case of alliteration....the 'F' word, having become such a permanent feature of British speech, pairs well with the name 'Faliraki' when a reporter, presenter, public figure... needs to compare some socially driven British obscenity with a 'somewhere' that s/he is personally ignorant of, but sounds good to the ear.

Enough! Faliraki is no longer a resort overflowing with British youth that can onlyhave a 'good time' when their senses are dulled by alcohol - indeed these clients moved on very quickly after Faliraki hit the spotlight, circa 2004.

The resort of Faliraki has reinvented itself as a cosmopolitan, all-age-welcomingresort and locals have made every effort to provide the amenities worthy of such a resort. Faliraki's 5km stretch of golden sand, dotted with tavernas, cafeterias and 4* and 5* hotels, boasts 12 FEE Blue Flags. Faliraki is home to the largest Water Park in Europe, a state-of-the-art indoor bowling park, two fully air conditioned indoor fun-parks for families with younger children and a History Park which brings Greek history to life. Regular boats link Faliraki with the towns of Rhodes, Lindos and even the island of Symi.

Wedding Venues in the Faliraki Area

There are numerous wedding venue locations in the direct area of Faliraki:

Kallithea Springs and Spa is becoming increasingly popular and is just a 5 minute drive north along the coast.

The small chapel of St Sophia, built on a hillside plateau, commands spectacular views of the bay of Faliraki and is a natural choice for a private ceremony.

Prophet Amon is an ancient monastery protected from the savages of time by a forest offragrant pine trees. Its permanent population of peacocks greet visitors with joy!

Prophet Elias - here the world is your oyster....Perched on a hilltop headland, with amazing views not only of the azure blue bay of Faliraki but also the renowned 'Antony Quinn Bay', this little chapel is the backdrop for the most intimate of wedding ceremonies.

St Apostolos This quaint church, a popular choice of the local Greek population for both weddings and baptisms, is found on the far end of the quayside of the small harbour in Faliraki. A serene location, in a traditionally Greek sea-farers setting, where the waters of the crystal clear Aegean sensuously serenade the wedding couple.
