The dispersed old settlement above the coast reveals Mathraki's stone houses, churches and agricultural paths away from the harbour.
Walk slowly through public lanes and treat the village as a living community, not an abandoned display. Architectural interest appears in modest houses, walls, wells and chapels rather than one headline monument. Ask before entering courtyards or photographing residents. Carry water, close livestock gates and return before dark because signage and street lighting are limited.
