Anthony Quinn beach
Anthony Quinn Bay and its beach is located on the east coast of Rhodes, about four kilometres south of Faliraki.
After filming “The Guns of Navarone” in Rhodes, actor Anthony Quinn bought this bay with the ambition of creating an international centre for film producers and actors. However, the plan did not come to reality and the government later cancelled the purchase.
The beach in general
Anthony Quinn beach is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful beaches in Rhodes. And not without reason, the beach is located in a breathtaking bay surrounded by mountains.
A staircase leads down to the narrow beach with a mixture of sand, gravel and stones. There are pebbles in the crystal clear water, inviting you for a swim.
It is possible to rent sun loungers and parasols, but be sure to arrive early as the beach is very popular, especially in July and August. Parking right by the beach is free and the beach is definitely worth the trip.
Child-friendliness
Anthony Quinn beach is not very child-friendly. Instead, visit Ladiko, which is 400 metres to the west.
Water sports
The crystal clear waters and stunning underwater scenery make Anthony Quinn bay one of the best places for diving and snorkelling in Rhodes.
Beach restaurants
There is a restaurant right by the stairs down to the beach. It also serves as a beach bar.
Nearby holiday resorts
The popular resort of Faliraki is located just a few kilometres to the north. A lively holiday resort with many shops, restaurants and hotels. The northern part of the long sandy beach is rather quiet and there are many good hotels here. We recommend the modern Amada Colossos, located right on the beach.
Those who want to stay in a smaller and more relaxed holiday resort should look at Kalithea north of Faliraki. Here there is a sufficient selection of shops and restaurants, but the pace is a little quieter.
