Like a step back in time, Rodies offers a snapshot of a traditional Crete. Named after the abundance of pomegranate trees that take centre stage and grace its poolside courtyard, Rodies Cretan Restaurant, pays homage to Crete’s most time-honored recipes via Chef’s Michalis Markakis authentic menu.
In alignment with the Cretan diet, where greens and vegetables, wild herbs and olive oil are revered, dishes are suitably honest and simple. A range of high quality meats and fish are cooked ‘parastia’ style over an open fire or „antikristo“ style, in the outdoor kitchen at Rodies which, true to authenticity, fully operates without the use of electricity, relying solely on an outdoor stone oven and grill to prepare dishes.
To ensure that your stay is also a gastronomic experience, our chef will compose an authentic Cretan Breakfast with most nourishing local products including homemade yogurt, fruits, cheeses, eggs, and baked goods and Cretan cookies.
