Managros
Μάναγρος
Managros is one of Chios's great big beaches: a vast sweep of sand and pebbles near Volissos with room to spread out even in the height of summer. Different sections have their own local names and character, but the constant is a sense of space, clear water and an open northwestern horizon. It is the kind of beach where you can walk until you find your own stretch of shore.
