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.
