Mandrakia

Milos


Village cats form the welcoming committee at this tiny fishing harbour, with brightly coloured boat sheds, cute wee cottages and a sweet little whitewashed church. There are small shingle beaches on either side and, to the east, a large expanse of rocky shelves to spread out on abutting the water.
