Does chilling out on the shore sound enticing? Plan an excursion to Paradise Beach or Aliki Beach.
Feel like some time in the natural world? Grab your car keys and hightail it to Maronia Cave, 45 kilometres away from Mandra. Alternatively, enjoy some fresh air at Tsal Mountain, 25 kilometres away.
Are you a serious sports buff? Then you'll want to look into the event schedule at Sports Center Skoda Xanthi, located 18 kilometres to the north in Xanthi.
Fans of winter sports will love staying in Mandra, as it gives access to Pamporovo Ski Resort and Chepelare Ski Resort. Remember to pack your warmest gear! These snowy wonderlands can get seriously cold.
Remember to visit other nearby sights, such as the Archaeological Museum of Avdera and the Vourvoukelis Estate. You will find them 5 kilometres north in Avdira. Don't want to give back the hire car just yet? Myrodato Beach and Archaeological Site of Avdera are in Maggana, 12 kilometres to the southwest of Mandra.
Evaggelismos Church, the Archaeological Museum of Komotini and the Folklore Museum are all quite close to Komotini, 35 kilometres to the east. Want some more reasons to swing by? The Democritus University and the Komotini Clock are not far away either.
To really experience a place is to sample its food and drink, so get set to nibble, gnaw, slurp and sip your way through Thrace. The only thing you need to bring with you is a decent appetite!
An essential ingredient in the food here is chicken. One more is pork. Give them a try if they're not already a part of your food repertoire.
Are you on the hunt for a classic Mandra dining experience? There are some specialty dishes to keep an eye out for, such as kouzou dolma (stuffed roast lamb) and moussaka (minced meat and aubergine casserole).
Loukoumades (deep fried pastry with honey) is a dessert that sums up this place in a single bite. Order a serving and then come back for seconds!
Good news, beer enthusiasts. You'll be able to find some flavoursome, bubbly brews to knock back here. Chill out with a glass of Verginia Red in a comfortable bar and be sure to text your mates back at home, 'Wish you were beer'.
Savatiano Retsina and Nemea Agiorgitiko are lovely backgrounds to nearly any dish. You don't have to be a wine lover to appreciate a tasty glass!
You may be poor in European euros when your trip comes to an end, but you'll be rich in incredible experiences. "Yiá sou" Mandra!
Would you like to know where the nearest airport is? Well, it's called Macedonia Airport (SKG) and it's 180 kilometres to the west.
