The Rodopos Peninsula A
short tour of the Rodopos peninsula must include the
five villages spread from north to south across it's
base. Small mountain villages sitting 1000ft or so above
sea level.
AFRATA
The approach
to Afrata is a 'T' junction dominated by two of the four tavernas of Afrata. The 'Good Heart'; 'Manolis';
'Minora'; and the internationally renowned 'Roxanni's
supported by the Canteena on the beach.
Astratigos
Left at the
'T' Junction takes you to the quiet village of
Astratigos. Two churches, no tavernas and superb sea
views.
Rodopos
Famous for its
honey; solid Cretan culture and the annual pilgrimage to
the church of St Ioannis.
Aspra Nera
An isolated
village with little apparent attraction. Outstanding
countryside in a walkers paradise.
Ravdoucha
Clings to the cliff-side a few hundred feet above it's two beaches. The
drive down is an experience.
