On the island where every beach feels like a personal discovery
Fine sand, crystal-clear waters, and trails that lead to small paradises. The beaches of the island spread across small, sheltered coves, where silence and light compose a rare harmonious scene.
Follow the south-eastern coast to discover a landscape that remains virtually untouched. Towards the south-eastern tip of Anafi rises the monolith of Kalamos, a 460-metre limestone rock, the second tallest in the Mediterranean after Gibraltar. Its imposing silhouette, visible from many shores, bestows a characteristic horizon on Anafi.
Near the port of Agios Nikolaos lies Klisidi, an easily accessible sandy beach with a calm seabed and small tavernas serving local flavours. You will often see sailing boats anchored offshore, as the spot is well-protected from the winds.
Slightly further east stretches Roukounas, the best-known and largest beach on Anafi. Its landscape combines sand, rock, and tamarisk trees that offer natural shade.
Continuing on foot or after a short journey by vehicle, you will reach Katsouni and Livoskopos. These two beaches, smaller and quieter, grant a sense of privacy. At Livoskopos, the colour of the sand becomes more golden, while the waters remain shallow and ideal for families or those seeking complete relaxation.
Further east still, at Agioi Anargyri, the small sandy shore below the chapel of the same name offers a breathtaking view and absolute serenity. The trail there is short and easily traversable.
Anafi is part of the Natura 2000 network and hosts rare flora and important marine ecosystems. Visitors are asked to keep the island clean, avoid collecting plants, and follow the marked trails leading to the coasts.
Beneath the tamarisk trees, time seems to flow more slowly and every dive feels like a return to the simplicity of the Aegean Sea.
