Mandraki beach

Mandraki is a quiet sandy beach on the north coast, reached by a walk in along a dirt track from the main road. Sources disagree about which bus stop serves it: 21 and 24 are both described as the Mandraki track. It faces north, so it takes the meltemi swell. No sunbeds, cash only, two basic food operations.
