have stayed at castle view apartments on many occasions,they are situated just behind the beach front apartments but just a short walk to the front (2 mins)extremely clean and quite spacious (3-4 persons)with seperate double bedroom and 2 single in living area, kitchen is fully aquipped and balcony with table and chairs, even a shower curtain as you should know are quite rare!!!prices are very reasonable throughout the year, usually have to book independently due to no holiday companies deal with haraki on a whole, only olympic which have a handful of rooms at quite high prices(package)bar owners and locals alike, are very friendly and always looking after your best interests to make sure you have a fab holiday! theres plenty of restaurants/bars with fabulous food to choose from in this idyllic haven.haraki has its own pebbled beach with sunbeds available but if you want a sandy beach, just a short distance away(3 mins in car or 10-15 mins walking)you will find agathi beach, gorgeous shallow waters,3 tavernas, watersports.thers also a lovely little church built into the rocks!haraki is heaven for those who wish for a relaxed, quite peaceful holiday. once you go,you will always go back!! going again in july 2010

Stayed in Castle View apartments. Apartments very clean, bed linen changed twice a week. Fairly central for beach, bars and restaurants. Very good point is that all windows and doors had mosquito screens. Nice to go home without being covered in bites! These apartments very popular, people tend to go back to them year after year. Nice view of Castle which is lit up at night.
Lovely quiet peaceful resort, not really suited for teenagers but our 11 year old daughter loved it, spent lots of time in the sea which is crystal clear ideal for swimming. Sun beds we found a little expensive at 7 euros. Bar owners and shopkeepers extremely friendly. We found the best bar to visit was Jack's bar (they do a lovely English breakfast for 4 euros 20. Also good cocktails.
Very good Italian restaurant but our favourite place to eat was Tommy's restaurant situated by bus terminus) a very good place to eat. Anyone visiting there must try the stuffed chicken with feta cheese and ham. Highly recommended. Owners very friendly (son a Greek footballer) who also helps out in the restaurant at night.
Reasonably priced. We found restaurants along the sea front a little more expensive and not so much atmosphere. All in all we had a very good holiday and would definitely go back there again. Would probably stay at the same Apartments, although the Haraki Village Apartments also looked very nice - overlook the sea.
Haraki only 11 miles from Lindos - bus fare about 1 euro 20. Also bus to Rhodes Town -3 euros.

Castle View Apartments were basic yet fantastic. Quiet, out-of-the-way yet within 2 minutes walk of the beach and village centre. Romantic setting, within blooming Bouganvilla garden with balcony views of the castle ruins which are stunning by day, and by night, when they are lit up and appear even more impressive.
Opening up the sliding glass door onto our private balcony every morning, onto views of olive groves and the castle ruins in the distance was worth every penny!
The only lack of marks given are attributed to the fact that the main bedroom came with semi-comfortable 2 single beds, rather than a double/queen, which is strictly a pet peeve of mine, albeit minor. Also bathroom is typically Greek /Turkish, with shower, sink, and toilet within the same square-meter of space, and no barriers between to keep everything from getting soaked.
