Cycling to Rokka – traditional village near Kissamos

A beautiful early spring day, perfect for a few hours out cycling.

This morning I went to Rokka, an easy, scenic route East of Kissamos. On the way I stopped at villa Trevisan, a Venetian villa in ruins.

Rokka village is interesting in itself, with stone houses in the old settlement, the imposing rock and the gorge below.

Coming back I passed through Drapanias, another village that used to be home to a decent population and is now seeing more people coming back to give it some life.
