Out of the wine-dark sea
there lies a land called Crete
A rich and lovely sea-girt land
densely peopled, with ninty cities
Homer:Odessey
In this land of rare beauty and rich tradition, with a long history and a unique civilization lies "Rodialos Mansion"
A pomegranate tree-Afrodite's tree, symbol of harmony and fertility with the symbolic fruit, unbreakably connected to our traditions and legents, the"dark killer" as Elitis the poet, says,dominates the patio and gives the house half its name.The other half is offered by the sea that girds it.
"Rodialos" in greek language, means the pomegranate tree of the sea, or, the coast of the pomegranate tree.

Rodialos
 Rodialos is located in the middle of Crete’s northern coast, near the village of Panormon, on one of the island’s many rocky shores.
Surrounding the house, are organically cultivated gardens facing the Cretan Sea.
The architecture, the colours, the construction materials and the landscape, all evoke a strong recollection of Minoan Crete.
Symposia are alternative programs of Cretan cuisine with organic products, offering participants a real and high quality "taste of Crete".
We also accommodate groups for yoga workshops, sailing, cycling and walking excursions, tai chi sessions and fishing; combining your holiday with a healthy lifestyle.
Since May 2009, Villa Rodialos and the non profit company Vassilis Damvoglou have established a three day cultural and environmental festival in the village of Panormon with theatre, music, exhibitions, seminars and a cycling race.
