Anafi Beaches

The most frequented Anafi beaches are found on the southern side of the island, as they are easier to be reached either on foot or by boat. The common feature of all Anafi beaches is their tranquillity because the island is not developed in tourism at all. Most beaches are long and sandy, with crystal water and only a few trees for protection. Visitors will find no organized beaches there, just long beaches with no facilities at all.

You will find below a list of the best beaches in Anafi island.
