A week in Haraki
We've stayed in Haraki many times and this stay didn't disappoint. The location is right next to the beach and perfect for swimming. Its also right next to many of the Tavernas but we didn't get any excessive noise. The two floors to the house also gave us much more space than we're used to in Rhodes. All in all a very good experience and we'd certainly choose this property again.

I love my house, it's a perfect location right next to the beach and in walking distance to all the taverna's & mini supermarkets! It's a no brainer!! I'm always making upgrades to the property and maintaining it! I want it to look nice for everyone to feel that they are at "home"!! Thanks Again and Best Wishes to you both! Karen M.

A Real Treasure
From the moment of booking Karen could not be more helpful, recommending Places to visit, Car Hire and many more tips and hints. The apartment is fantastic, simply laid out, very comfortable with everything and more that you could need. Well appointed, simply decorated in cooling white, with lovely local touches made it feel like a home from home. Air Conditioned rooms make it even more appealing, a lesson learnt from previous visits to Greece and Spain, it is essential! All appliances are there for every eventuality including a Tumble Dryer if the weather isn't quite as gorgeous as it was when we visited, 30 degrees every day, wonderful! *we really loved the wardrobes in the main bedroom by the way, ones we will be looking to have in our place! So close to the beach, literally stumble out with your towel and suncream and walk less than 15 yards and there it is, a Wonderful horseshoe bay with crystal clear waters, calm, safe and accessible for all. One of the best beaches that I have ever visited and this is my 5th visit to Greek Islands! It is small pebbles in parts, sandy in others so pack some beach shoes but it is amazing. Some boat trips leave from the bay, only small ones and some visit on their journeys and we understand why, it does not detract from the surroundings in any way, very unobtrusive. Lots of sunbeds and umbrellas, lovely restaurants and bars, all very respectful of their surroundings and that it is, a Family beach, so no loud music or throbbing basslines but joyful giggles and laughter fill the air! Definitely take or buy a mask and snorkel, its a must to do! My Son swam with a smallish turtle on his last day, the smile will live with me forever. So all in all Karen apartment is perfect for a small family or a couple, close to everything and a perfect host who will gladly help. Haraki is a Treasure, a real retreat from life with awesome sunrises, history with the castle behind, a great base from which to explore Rhodes, which we did and 100% we will be coming back soon. If I have the chance this is where I will retire to, to swim in the bay before a light breakfast each morning would be an absolute joy! My gratitude to Karen, Simon, Anna and all the staff at Bottoms Up for a wonderful experience.

Thank you so much ! I’m so glad you stayed at my house and loved your stay! Haraki Beach is a Hidden Gem! My home away from home! I loved decorating it, so everyone would feel a warm, comfortable, relaxing but yet beautiful environment. With the state of the art appliances and necessities. I hope you get to come again and make it one your permanent places to visit. Have a great rest of the year. And if I can ever do anything to help you, let me know. Sincerely, Karen

Much better than we ever expected
Dear Karen – Thank you for coping so patiently with so many of our changes to this booking! Throughout it all your calm understanding, support and very prompt replies were much appreciated. As for your home … WOW! Everything was as your pictures and details describe and more! Really easy check-in with Anna, suitcases down and unpacked, and we were on the beach (less than 10 steps from your front door) and enjoying the glorious sun on the sunbeds below Bottoms Up in about 15 minutes from arriving. That quickly became a habit! All our intentions to explore, hire a car, see more of Rhodes … that hot sun, blue skies, warm sea, and those sunbeds won every day! Haraki is exactly what we were hoping for, the genuine friendliness of almost everyone we met was a lovely surprise, and there are enough places to make eating and drinking the usual “conversational highlight” of our holidays. Thank you again for giving us a break much better than we ever expected! Mandy and Paul

Seamless logistics with a beach townhouse that has everything you need / catered for. The balcony is literally a stone’s throw from the beach.

Magnificent trip to Haraki Rhodes
I have just returned from a fantastic two weeks in Haraki which was so relaxing and exceeded all our expectations. The property we stayed in was magnificent and I would highly recommend this wonderfully located villa. This property exuded class and was spotless. This property had all we could ask for and more.

Excellent Little House - close to the beach in a fab village / resort
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.

Fab accommodation in superb location
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 :)

Perfekt !!! Super schönes Ferienhaus direkt am Strand
Ja was soll ich sagen es war ein echt schönes Haus und tolle freundliche Vermieter. Das Haus ist genau wie in der Anzeige beschrieben, es ist alles da und noch mehr wie Sonnenschirme und und und. Das Haus ist für eine Familie mit zwei Kindern ( so bis 12 Jahre) absolut ausreichend, im Gegenteil die Apartments in der Umgebung sind viel kleiner. Super ist auch, gibt man bei Google nächstes Restaurant ein kommt 6m oder nächster Strand 8m! In einen Umkreis von ca 100 Meter sind 5-6 Restaurants/Bars und zwei kleine Supermärkte wo man alles bekommt was man benötigt. Ich Empfehle aber einen Mietwaagen . Diesen kann man im Ort Mieten, ich rate vom Flughafen ab, da dort hohe Preis aufgerufen werden und geht der Rückflug morgens haben die meisten noch zu, außerdem kommt man zu vielen Anbietern nur mit einem Bus. In den Tavernen erwartet Sie richtig freundliche Gastgeber die für wenig Geld ( Hauptspeise + kleines Dessert und eine kleine Vorspeise für ca. 10Euro) bieten. Das Haus hat in jedem Raum eine sehr wohltuende Klimaanlage die man auch benötigt. Der Strand ist leider Kies, dies ist nun nicht unseres deshalb sind wir zum Baden an die Sandstrände gefahren, der schönste liegt etwa 25 min Entfernt oder genau nebenan zwei Minuten entfern- hier sind aber diese Jahr wegen den Umständen keine Liegen gewesen. Ehe ich es vergesse, wir waren zwei Wochen im Haus und nach einer Woche wurde nochmal gereinigt und die Bettwäsche gewechselt. Wir sagen Danke!

Gemütliches Haus in optimaler Lage
Das Haus liegt ca. 50 m vom Kiesstrand und dem ersten Gasthaus der Bucht entfernt und hat sogar einen schmalen Meerblick vom Balkon aus. Die Bucht vom Ort war jetzt im Oktober total leer. Allerdings machen im November auch die letzten Restaurants dicht. Ganz in der Nähe gibt es auch Buchten mit feinem Sandstrand, 5 Min mit dem Auto, 1 halbe stunde zu Fuß. Die Einrichtung ist geschmackvoll und es gibt alles was man braucht und noch mehr: z.B. Ketchup, Senf, Majo, Honig, Salz ,Pfeffer, Spüli, Alupapier, werkzeug, erste hilfe set, fön... Nur am Anfang gab es kleine Probleme: Beim telefonieren mit der Managerin haben wir erst spät erfahren ,dass wir mit der deutschen sim - Karte eine 003 vorwählen müssen. Um zu dem Haus zu gelangen muss man in eine kleine Straße mit Einfahrt verboten fahren und in der dortigen Parkverbotszone parken. Das machen da aber alle. Wer Korrekt parken will, der parkt 100 m entfernt beim Restaurante argo.

Wir haben uns in diesem Ferienhaus sehr wohl gefühlt.Der Urlaubsort Charaki ist touristisch schon mehr erschlossen und durch die Gaststätte nebenan manchmal etwas laut.Zum Strand sind wir ins ruhigere Stegna gefahren,wo man auch sehr schön schnorcheln kann.Am Strand gibt es auch eine etwas versteckte Gaststätte kann man sich auch einen Katffee to go holen.Alles in allem hat es uns gut gefallen.Betreung vom Ferienhaus war auch sehr gut,auf der TERASSE wäre eine Sitzgelegenheit und Tisch sehr angenhm gewesen..

L'appartamento è molto bello, ben arredato e provvisto di tutto il necessario. Molto utili anche lavatrice e lavastoviglie. Ci è stato consegnato pulito e in ordine, con asciugamani e teli da spiaggia. Alla fine della prima settimana ci hanno cambiato lenzuola ed asciugamani. A due passi dal mare e da molte taverne in cui poter cenare. La posizione centrale sull'isola ci ha permesso di visitare tutta Rodi da nord a sud. L'appartamento è anche comodo a diverse spiagge.

Haraki ist klein und ruhig-keine großen Hotels-trotzdem gibt es genügend gute tavernen/restaurants
Gut ausgestattet, perfekt für 2 Personen - bei Belegung mit 4 wär's etwas eng. Entfernung zum kl. Strand von Haraki 1 min zu Fuss. Gute Tavernen (und sehr gutes Fischrestaurant) und auch kleine Supermärkte in Laufweite. Gut erreichbar und perfekter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge nach Rhodos-Stadt (ca. 40 min mit Auto) bzw.
