The village is divided into upper and lower Rodakino and offers splendid views of the blue of the Cretan Sea. The name of the village means peach in Greek and is believed to have been named by a sole tree that flourished despite the dry climate. Approximately 2km south of the village of Rodakinio, there is a beautiful beach. Despite the fact that Rodakino displays touristic development, it has managed to maintain its authentic, traditional character and peacefulness. The first beach is called Korakas and is a wide organized beach with light grey thin pebbles and crystalline waters.
