Kastri Beach Taverna

Kastri Beach Taverna is a seaside taverna at Aischini 1 in Faliraki, on the east coast of Rhodes, Greece. Faliraki is the island's best-known resort town, about 15 kilometres south of Rhodes town, with a long sandy beach, water park and busy bar district, and the taverna offers a more traditional meal within that tourist setting. The cuisine is Greek, and the dishes named are grilled fish and Greek salad, the typical beachfront combination of fresh seafood and a simple vegetable plate. Other taverna staples such as starters, grills and dips usually accompany them. Prices are in the middle bracket, standard for a resort beachfront. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual, aimed at beach-goers who want lunch or an early dinner by the water; dress is casual, with beachwear common at lunchtime, and noise is moderate, with sea sounds and resort activity in the background. Opening hours are listed daily from 10:00 to 22:00, covering lunch and an early evening meal rather than a late night. The drinks list follows taverna custom, with Greek wine, beer, soft drinks and ouzo. Reservations are taken by phone on +30 2241 085381; booking is useful for sunset tables or groups in high season, while lunch is often walk-in. The venue is reached from Faliraki's centre by a short walk or taxi, and the nearby beach has sunbeds and watersports. Evening light along the coast is pleasant, and families often choose the taverna for an early meal after a day at the beach. The resort is busiest in July and August, with quieter and cooler conditions in May, June and September.
