Anafi
Let explore the Sailing Holidays area...
Anafi is located near Santorini, at the southeastern edge of the Cyclades island complex. The island with the golden beaches and evergreen waters gives its guests relaxing vacation in the nature. With an open view to the Cretan Sea, Chora is the only organized settlement, in the typical Cycladic style but with its own unique features.
Anafi has a high altitude in relation to its size, as the mount. Kalamos, with its highest point reaching 460 m, is one of the biggest rocks in the Mediterranean and gives the island an almost conical shape. In the Greek mythology Anafi rose from the waters under Apollo’s command, so that the Argonauts, tired from the rough Aegean Sea would find a place to rest.
