The island’s single, endless sandy beach
A long ~2 km beach of golden sand running almost the whole east coast — the island’s only sandy beach and its standout feature.
Behind it stretch dunes and cedar/greenery; almost always deserted, as Mathraki — the smallest and greenest of the Diapontia islets — sees very few visitors.
