Furthermore, the villa is only 10 minutes away from the nearest beach of Pantanassa and a few kilometers away from the tourist seaside destinations like Amoudara, Mades, Helidoni, Lygaria and Agia Pelagia. The village of Rodia is a picturesque traditional village of Crete, famous for its excellent view and the tasty food in its traditional taverns. It dates back to the 13th century and the village took its name (Chiera Rodea) from its old church of Madonna. The church is located next to the villa of the historic Byzantine family Kallergi in the village. The villa is characterized by Venetian architecture and was built in 1553. Also above the village, there is the women's monastery “Sabbathiana”. It is one of the few remaining monasteries that functioned in the region, during the Venetian occupation. Nearby beaches from the villa: Pantanassa (4 km) The beach is next to the picturesque small harbor of Pantanassa and takes its name from the homonymous monastery of Panagia located there. The beach is very worthwhile with beautiful clear waters and pebbles. Access is very easy and in the harbor there are taverns that offer traditional Cretan food in front of the sea. Paleokastro (5,5 km) Palaiokastro is a small, picturesque pebble beach formed at the exit of a verdant valley that flows through the torrents that descend from the village of Rodia. Near the beach there is a huge rock, the top of which was once Palaiokastro, a Venetian fortress that protected the gulf of Heraklion from hostile raids. The beach is not very organized and it is ideal for relaxing moments and good food in the traditional taverns. Helidoni (6 km) The beach of Hellidoni is located on the south side of Paliokastro. Access is through a wonderful staircase with wooden stairs leading to the sea level. It is a tiny beach with fine pebbles and sand in some places.

The beach at its northern end also has a pretty elegant canteen that serves its visitors. Mades (9 km) The beach of Mades is located in the area of Lygaria. It is a small, beautiful village with a small bay with pebbles. It is not a very organized beach, although a large hotel in the area provides umbrellas and sunbeds to its guests.
