Description of the attraction
Picturesque Rhodes is one of the most beautiful and popular Greek islands. Stunningly beautiful landscapes, excellent beaches and an abundance of interesting historical and cultural attractions attract a huge number of tourists here every year. This is an amazing place where everyone can find their own piece of paradise, whether it is a bustling cosmopolitan resort or a quiet and secluded coastal village.
On the east coast of Rhodes, about 38 km from the capital of the island of the same name and 20 km from Lindos, in a small cozy crescent-shaped bay, is the resort town of Haraki. This is a traditional Greek settlement with its own unique flavor, cozy atmosphere, as well as the cordiality and hospitality of the locals.
Haraki is an ideal place for a quiet family vacation. Here you will find a good selection of hotels and comfortable apartments. In cozy restaurants and taverns, concentrated mainly along the waterfront, you can have a great rest and taste excellent local cuisine. The dishes made from the freshest fish caught by local fishermen are especially famous.
The pride of Haraki, undoubtedly, is a beautiful well-maintained beach, part of which is covered with sand, and part of it with large pebbles. The beach is large enough and there is never an excessive crowd of people here. Sun umbrellas and sun loungers can be rented upon request. Lovers of outdoor activities and water sports will not be bored in Haraki. Popular activities include water skiing, scuba diving and windsurfing. You will also find excellent beaches in the vicinity of Haraki. You should definitely visit the sandy Agati Beach located in a cozy, well-protected bay. Clean sand and very convenient entry into the water are perfect for vacationers with children.
The main attraction of Haraki is the ruins of the medieval Feraclos castle, located on a hilltop at an altitude of about 300 m above sea level. In ancient times, this hill was of great strategic importance. Today, climbing to the top of the hill, you can enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the island and the endless sea.
Getting to Haraki is easy enough as there is a regular bus service to the island's capital and Lindos.
