Mandrakia village is built around a small bay with gorgeous blue and turquoise waters that remain transparent quite far in the sea. In fact, the entire view of the little village is so perfectly beautiful that it feels like a set for a movie rather than an actual village where people make a living.

The beach has a lunar landscape that makes it vastly different from every other shore in Greece, featuring awe-inspiring, smooth white rocks with plenty of horizontal layering. Its formation is highly unique, boasting numerous caves that anyone can explore with the help of a flashlight! The beach was mostly formed as such due to fossil layering and some volcanic eruptions, while it is said to have been named after the Saracen pirates that used the caves as a shelter.
