Anafi Island

Anafi is yet another destination near Santorini offering quiet holidays. As these two islands are pretty close one could say they are of the same family.

Anafi has remained virgin to the intense tourist growth and is the end of a route in Cyclades for the travelers who seek authenticity and peace. Anafi has a high altitude in relation to its size, as the mount. Kalamos, with its highest point reaching 460m, is one of the biggest rocks in the Mediterranean and gives the island an almost conical shape. It is this unique feature that the myth around Anafi is trying to grasp; Anafi rose from the waters under Apollo’s command, so the tired from the rough Aegean Sea Argonauts found a place to rest.

The traditional Cycladic architecture in Anafi is exceptional, and those of you who have visited the neighborhood Anafiotika in Athen's Plaka would know roughly what to expect in Anafi. Another special feature of this island is the 80 tiny churches as well as the fact that it has no snakes, which could probably explain where the island's name comes from.

Anafi welcomes you to spend your holidays in its wonderful, truly relaxing atmosphere in its warm and hospitable embrace
