Modern Description: At this point, the road divides east to the sandy beach of Kalamos on the east coast, or south to the double *bay of Manganári, site of a flourishing settlement of the Early Cycladic period. The view from the descending road of this broad and gentle bay, its two shallow sweeps of virgin sand separated by an outcrop of reefs, with the plain and the mountains behind and the island of Santorini ahead across the water, is one of the loveliest in the Cyclades.
