Mandrakia is a picturesque fishing village on the north coast of Milos, about 4 km from Plaka and 5 km from Adamas. It’s one of the island’s most photogenic spots, known for its colorful “syrmata” (boat garages), turquoise waters, and peaceful atmosphere.

• Traditional Syrmata: These are small boat garages carved into the rock, painted in bright colors, and still used by local fishermen. They give Mandrakia its postcard-perfect charm.
• Crystal-Clear Waters: The tiny bay has incredibly clear water, making it a great spot for swimming (though it’s more of a harbor than a traditional beach).
• Relaxing Atmosphere: Unlike more touristy spots, Mandrakia is quiet and peaceful, ideal for a short visit or a relaxing meal with a sea view.

• Explore the Village: Walk around and take photos of the beautiful syrmata and fishing boats.
• Swim in the Bay: There’s a small rocky area where you can take a dip in the clear water.
• Eat at Medusa Tavern: One of the most famous seafood tavernas in Milos, Medusa offers fresh fish, octopus, and traditional Greek dishes with an amazing sea view.
• Visit Nearby Beaches: Sarakiniko Beach (one of Milos’ most famous spots) is just a 5-minute drive away.

• By Car/Scooter: The best way to visit Mandrakia is by renting a car or scooter, as public transport is limited.
• By Taxi: Taxis can take you there from Adamas or Plaka.

Mandrakia is perfect for a peaceful stop to enjoy traditional Greek island life, stunning views, and delicious seafood.
