My Savvas Studios

My Savvas Studios is a small inn in Haraki for a stay built around independence rather than hotel routines. You have a studio with its own kitchenette, a private bathroom and outdoor space, then the beach a short walk away. It is a practical base for couples, families and divers who would rather spend their time outside than in a lobby discussing the weather.

You will be understood in English, and the hotel team also speaks German and Greek. That matters when you are arranging a late arrival, asking about the area or trying to explain that the damp towel is not, in fact, a fashion statement.

The setting is quiet, with outdoor seating, a sun terrace and views towards the mountains, town and inner courtyard. You get room to slow down without being cut off from Haraki's beach and local amenities.

You are in Haraki, on Rhodes, Greece, in a seaside location with the beach about 50 metres away on foot. Haraki Beach offers golden sand, sun loungers and parasols, with clear water for an easy swim or a little time with a mask and snorkel. The sea is not a distant day trip here; it is part of the immediate geography.

Feraklos Castle is around 300 metres away, giving you a nearby landmark when you have had enough of looking at the bottom of the sea. Agathi Beach is about 1 mile away, while Kokkini Ammos Beach, accessible only by boat, is around 1.7 miles away. Other beaches include Agia Triada, about 2.6 miles away, and Kalathos Beach, around 600 feet away.

For a longer outing, Lindos Acropolis is around 5 miles away. Rhodes International Airport is about 23 miles from the inn, with a drive of roughly 41 minutes. You are staying in a coastal village rather than in Rhodes Town, so the appeal is the proximity to the water and local sights, not urban convenience on your doorstep.

The studios suit a couple who wants a proper base rather than a bed and a kettle. The kitchenette includes a hob, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, electric kettle, coffee machine and kitchenware, with a dining table for breakfast or a simple meal. After a long day outdoors, that gives you the useful option of making something cold, hot or merely edible without turning the evening into an expedition.

Choose the terrace option if stepping straight outside matters to you. The balcony option is the more compact choice for two, with a large king-size bed. Both studio categories include air conditioning, a seating area, a desk, a private bathroom with shower, towels, slippers, toiletries and a hairdryer. A flat-screen TV and free WiFi cover the quieter parts of the evening.

Views vary between the inner courtyard, town and mountains, so the room is not built around a guaranteed sea panorama. Soundproofing, a private entrance and non-smoking rooms help keep the night straightforward, while the air conditioning is welcome when Rhodes has spent the day turning the pavement into a griddle. Children of any age are welcome, though cots and extra beds are not available, so the sleeping arrangement needs checking carefully for your group.

This is a self-catering stay: breakfast is not included and the accommodation is offered on a room-only basis. The kitchenette therefore earns its keep, with enough equipment for simple cooking, drinks and breakfast supplies. A refrigerator is particularly handy when you return hot, thirsty and unwilling to negotiate with a menu before sitting down.

There is no hotel restaurant or bar to structure the evening, so you can keep things informal in the studio or use the dining table and outdoor furniture. The coffee machine and kettle cover the first drink of the day; the beach and Haraki provide the reason to leave the room afterwards.

For a change of scene, named dining and drinks venues in the wider area include Konstantin Restaurant Cafe, Perigiali Sea Food Reastaurant, Stegna Kozas, Ostria Beach Bar, Secret Night Life and Milos Cocktail Snack Bar. These are not next-door facilities: the listed venues are several miles away, making a car useful if you plan to explore beyond Haraki rather than eat close to base.

The nearest activity is the simplest one: walk to Haraki Beach, settle under a parasol and let the day become less demanding. Sun loungers are available there, and the clear water gives you an easy option for swimming, snorkelling, kayaking or paddleboarding. Boat excursions and equipment hire are also available in the area, so you can take to the water without making every outing a full-scale operation.

On land, cycling, hiking and cultural excursions give you alternatives when you want movement without another swim. Feraklos Castle is close enough for a short local outing, while Lindos Acropolis is around 5 miles away for a more substantial visit. The surrounding beaches also make it easy to vary the scenery: Agathi Beach is about 1 mile away, and Kokkini Ammos is reached by boat.

Families are welcome, and the combination of a kitchenette, outdoor space and beach access works well when everyone wants a slightly different pace. There is no need to build the day around organised hotel entertainment. You can swim, walk, explore, then return to your own space when the sensible part of the evening begins.

Rhodes International Airport is around 23 miles away, with the journey taking roughly 41 minutes by car. Airport transfers are available through the property as a paid service, and car hire is also available. A car will be useful if you want to reach the farther beaches, restaurants and historical sites listed around Haraki.

Private check-in and check-out keep the arrival process direct. Check-in runs from 14:00 to midnight, while check-out is from 08:00 to 12:00. There is no age requirement for check-in, and children of any age are welcome. Pets are not allowed, and parties or events are not permitted.

WiFi is free throughout the property. You also have luggage storage, laundry service, a concierge, a reception safe and payment by cash, Visa or Mastercard. The studios are non-smoking, with smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, key-card access and carbon monoxide detection. A useful practical point: sleeping arrangements cannot be expanded with a cot or extra bed, so select the studio that fits your party from the start.
