About this audio guide
This guide to Gennadi Beach in Rhodes traces the 1967 case of Nikiforos Mandilaras, a lawyer who had defended soldiers in the Aspida affair and became a marked man after the colonels seized power. Days after slipping aboard a boat bound for Cyprus, he turned up dead in the surf here. You'll hear from the captain who says he simply drowned, and the witnesses who disagreed. The tavernas along the beach still sell the same catch local fishermen have long hauled in.
