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).
How to get to Korakas

The beach of Korakas is about 2km southern.
If you choose to drive from Rethymno town, follow the provincial road Melambon-Agias Galinis to the south and then the signs to Rodakino-Selia-Chora Sfakion.
