Super Paradise (Mandraki / Elias) in full
Mandraki and Elias sit on the north-west coast behind a belt of pines, and getting there is the whole story: roughly a thirty-minute walk on a dirt track from bus stop 23, or a car to the end of the road, or a boat. Once there, this is the only place to eat or drink.
It is a family-run canteen and taverna in one — omelettes, salads, souvlaki and fresh seafood, with the snack bar running 10:30 to 20:00 and sunbeds available. It rates 4.4 on both Google and Restaurant Guru, the latter across a substantial 587 reviews, which for a beach this remote indicates serious footfall.
The warnings are consistent and worth taking seriously. It is <strong>cash only</strong>. The toilets are very basic. There are long queues at peak lunchtime, and the service under that pressure is repeatedly described as chaotic.
None of that is a reason not to go — it is a reason to go early, bring euros, and treat the food as sustenance rather than the point. The point is the beach.
