Between Nea Gonia and Nea Silata there is a small hill-mountain settlement, Rodokipos (48 inhabitants), with its well preserved traditional color, with stone houses that are partially re-built and re-used. Refugees were settled in Rodokipos after the Asia Minor catastrophe in 1922, most of which came from Gulbapse. According to the Refugee Rehabilitation Committee in 1928, 27 refugee families were settled in Rodokipos. The name of the settlement before the establishment of the Asia Minor refugees was Senelli or Selle. Immediately afterwards the name of the settlement changes, in Rodokipos, by the translation of Gulbahce gul = rodo, bahce = garden.
