Rhodes music scene
Rhodes Town's nightlife concentrates on Orfanidou Street in the New Town - a roughly 150-metre 'Bar Street' packed with clubs and open-air terraces that fill after midnight, anchored by the multi-hall Colorado Club. Faliraki, about 14 km south, is the island's mass-tourism party resort, with a pedestrian club strip aimed at a young international crowd that runs until the early hours. The clubbing season runs roughly May to October and peaks in high summer.
Alongside it runs a cultural calendar built around the UNESCO-listed medieval city, inscribed in 1988 and built by the Knights of St John. The Rhodes International Festival stages classical music and opera inside the Palace of the Grand Master in early September; the European Polyphony Festival programmes free concerts across the old city into the autumn; and the Sound and Light show, running in the Palace gardens since 1961, dramatises the 1522 Ottoman siege. Every show is on Mood.
