HORAFIA AND MANDRAKI

Horafia is the green hill separating the main port from the fishing port of Mandraki. It was here that orchards were cultivated, which explains its name ("les prés" in French). A pleasant square houses the Saints-Constantin-et-Hélène church, where the island's patron saints are celebrated every May 21. Note the impressive but unfinished Church of St. George (1904). The port of Mandraki on the other side of Horafia is very quiet, with its small houses and fishing boats. The cemetery and a chapel close off a small sandy beach.
