By car, the park sits just off the main road between Faliraki and Lindos, with free parking on site. By local bus, east coast services running towards Faliraki and Lindos stop near the park.

Parking at the Faliraki Water Park
Free parking is available on site for visitors arriving by car.
How long to spend at the Faliraki Water Park
Plan for a full day. The park opens at 10am, and arriving close to opening time is the best way to enjoy the extreme slides before the queues build up later in the morning.
Accessibility at the Faliraki Water Park
The official site doesn’t publish detailed accessibility information. If you or someone in your group needs specific step-free access or mobility support, it’s worth contacting the park directly before your visit to confirm what’s available.
What to see at the Faliraki Water Park
The extreme slides are the park’s headline attractions, including the Kamikaze Slide, the 75-metre Free Fall Slide, the 60-metre Space Bowl, the Twister Slide’s side-by-side tube race, and the Turbo Slide. These five rides are restricted to visitors aged 12 and over.
The family slides, including the Boomerango, Stingray Slide, Head First Mat Racer, and Crazy Cones Slide, offer a gentler thrill, though children aged 3 to 8 aren’t permitted to ride them.
The wave pool and lazy river give visitors of all ages a place to relax between slides, a consistent highlight in visitor reviews.
The kids’ areas are designed for younger children, with shallower pools and smaller-scale play features away from the main slide towers.
The food stations serve snacks and meals throughout the day, though they close earlier than the park itself, at 6pm.

Things to do near the Faliraki Water Park
Faliraki Beach, one of the longest sandy beaches on Rhodes, is a short drive from the park. Faliraki’s promenade offers restaurants, bars, and shops for an evening out after a day of slides. Anthony Quinn Bay, a scenic cove named after the actor, is a short drive further along the coast. Kallithea Springs, a restored spa complex with striking architecture, makes for a calmer contrast to the water park. Rhodes Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is around 30 minutes away by car.
What to visit tomorrow: more Greek water parks
Rhodes is an island, so genuine same-day alternatives are limited. Aquatica Water Park, on Kos, is reachable in roughly 2 to 4 hours by inter-island ferry, depending on the route. Lido Water Park, also on Kos, offers a similar day-trip option, with slides, a lazy river, and gardens by the sea. Both are best treated as a separate day out during a longer island-hopping trip, rather than a quick side trip from Rhodes.
