Rodakino Mare Villa is perfectly positioned just steps away from the unspoiled, organized beach of Rodakino—ideal for those seeking peace, and direct access to the sea. For guests looking to explore more of Crete’s coastline, several other beaches are located nearby, each offering something unique.

Peristeres Beach (1km): Peristeres (or Peristere) Beach is a hidden gem on Crete's southern coast, located about 46–47 km southwest of Rethymno, nestled between Rodakino and Fragokastelo. This calm, dual-cove beach features a mix of fine sand and pebbles, with pebbly patches and some rocky areas — plus those stunning sea caves at Kastelos, where pigeons traditionally nest; hence its name, which means "pigeons" in Greek.

Korakas Beach (1km): Korakas Beach, nestled on Crete’s rugged south coast just 2 km south of Rodakino, is a captivating blend of natural beauty and laid-back charm. This long stretch of pebbly‑gray sand meets crystal‑clear shallow waters, ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and even spearfishing in calm sea conditions. The beach’s name—Greek for "crow"—is a nod to the eastern headland’s rocky formations resembling a crow’s beak. Despite its serene ambiance, Korakas is well‑equipped: visitors can find sun loungers and umbrellas (especially on the eastern side), along with small tavernas and family-run rooms just off the shore.

Frangokastello Beach (14.3 km): Frangokastelo Beach, located on Crete’s serene southern coast, is a breathtaking blend of natural beauty, shallow turquoise waters, and rich history. Set beneath the ruins of a 14th-century Venetian fortress, the beach offers fine golden sand and calm, crystal-clear seas—making it especially ideal for families and swimmers. The area is divided into three stretches: the main beach in front of the castle, Vatalos to the west with pebbles and great snorkeling, and Orthi Ammos to the east, known for its sand dunes and naturist-friendly atmosphere. Despite its historical significance, the beach remains relatively peaceful and modestly developed, with a few tavernas, and sunbeds. Its blend of culture, calm, and captivating scenery makes Frangokastelo a must-visit destination for those seeking a deeper connection with Crete’s storied past and natural charm.
