Notes
Rodakino is a quiet and traditional village, built on both sides of a gorge that runs across mountain Kryoneritis.
The gorge divides the village into two, the Ano (high) Rodakino and Kato (low) Rodakino.
From Kato Rodakino there is a road leading to the wonderful beaches of the area which lie in the Bay of Korakas (i.e. crow).
