Mandraki harbour
Where the Colossus is said to have stood
About Mandraki harbour
Mandraki is guarded by two bronze deer on columns, where legend places the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (its real location is unknown). Windmills line the mole, and day boats leave for Symi and the beaches of the east coast.
