The historic settlement of Rodia lays on the steep slope overlooking
Heraklion bay and is
recently booming into a residential center of high quality dwellings. Rodia is
16km away from Heraklion and owes its name to the old church of Virgin Mary's
Annunciation. The steep slopes compose landscapes of exquisite beauty especially
on the coastline and at the foot of the Valley and the gorge that starts from
the bay of Palaiokastro
and ends at the NW of Rodia settlement. Visitors are amazed by the wonderful route
and the 240m altitude overlooking the port of Heraklion, Ammoudara's
bay and the verdant scenery.
