Mantamados
Continue northeast to Mantamados for the Monastery of Taxiarchis Michael, the village’s ceramic workshops, and Ladotyri cheese to take home. Add the Man’ Katsa waterfall if the season allows.
This route runs roughly north along the coast then inland, so it works well as a single long day or split across two if you want unhurried time in each place.
