Haraki Beach Holiday Retreat- Hidden Gem!

We stayed here for the first time in July 2018, for 9 nights after booking online. Karen the owner was very helpful and responded to our emails really quickly when booking.

The house is about 10 steps from the beach, and is well equipped for cooking with lots of pans and even a toastie machine - which my 13 year son loved and used during our stay.

The house is clean and very practical, with air conditioning in both bedrooms and living/kitchen area. House is near a few restaurants but not really noisy and did not caused us any issues.

The main bedroom has a very large high bed, with enough room to just get round it, and the 2nd room is bunk beds, for kids or young teenagers. Bathroom is medium size and practical with a walk in shower.

Beach towels were provided and the beds and towels were changed once in our 9 days which was perfect. We loved this resort/village and house so much we have rebooked for next year.

Haraki is about 45 mins drive from the airport in the North and the old town at Rhodes and Lindos is a must to visit. We hired a car for 10 days and, there is parking next to the house but we parked in the village's main car park (2 min walk from house) as we only used the car every few days.

In Haraki there is about 3 small supermarkets with most things for your stay, and much bigger ones on your drive to Haraki.

Many Thanks Karen we look forward to our stay next year.

The house is lovely, extremely well equipped and spotlessly clean with 2 good sized bedrooms, decent bathroom, comfortable living area and fully functioning kitchen. The location is just great, about 20 steps to the little taverna on the corner which is first in a row of similar tavernas, all very pleasant. Nice quiet little resort so no noise problems experienced by us.

You then have about another 20 steps down to the pebble beach with the most stunning clear sea and views out of the bay and also up to the ruined castle on the hill - just gorgeous! Plenty of sunbeds when we were there and nobody came round for any money (this was Sept/Oct so not sure about high season). I spent a lot of time swimming while I was there, I would recommend getting waterproof shoes to protect your feet on the pebbles but other than that its just perfect. There are sandy beaches nearby for those that prefer sand.

The castle is definitely worth a visit but make sure you wear proper walking shoes and do it either early morning or late afternoon when its not too hot as its a real climb with no proper path. There are no signs or any real clues as to how to get up there so bit of an adventure but the views when you're up there are just fantastic and well worth it.

Other than that Rhodes is a lovely little island that is sadly a little neglected in places but we still enjoyed exploring it with our hire car. Rhodes old town is beautiful if rather over commercialised in places, the Acropolis and Lindos I would say the same about. We did a glass bottom boat trip from Pefkos which was really good fun and I would definitely recommend.

All in all a fantastic holiday, lovely house and location and Karen and Anna were so helpful and ensured everything ran smoothly for us, couldn't fault the service we received from them at all. Big thank you and I would love to think we'll be back some day :)

A lovely home from home property just a few yards from seafront, everything you need for a relaxing comfortable holiday. I would recommend this property for couples or a family.

Thank you for making our great vacation happen!

Long story short - the house is located in the small but incredibly beautiful place and has everything you would like to have for the comfortable vacation with a nice bonus of feeling yourself warmly welcomed.

Impeccably furnished and presented villa, with every facility you could wish for, location is excellent, with a few shops and restaurants close by.
