Why visit Anafi?

Anafi serves as a stark, volcanic sanctuary for those seeking silence away from the frantic pace of the nearby Cycladic hubs. The journey begins in Chora, where whitewashed cubic houses cling to the limestone cliffside, offering unobstructed views of the Aegean. Trekking the rugged path toward the Monastery of Zoodochos Pigi, located on the site of an ancient temple of Apollo Aigletes, reveals the island’s tectonic soul. The terrain is dominated by Mount Kalamos, the second-highest monolith in the Mediterranean, providing a dramatic silhouette against the horizon that defines the island’s raw, untamed identity.

Down at the coast, the rhythm slows to the sound of lapping water at Katsouni Beach and the secluded coves of Klisidi. After a long day, retreat to local tavernas to sample traditional pitaroudia—chickpea fritters—followed by a plate of fresh octopus or handmade kopanisti cheese. Nightfall brings a clarity to the sky that is rarely seen elsewhere, turning the terrace of a village café into a front-row seat for celestial observation. Whether you are navigating the steep stone stairways or lingering over a glass of raki as the sun dips behind the monolith, Anafi demands nothing but your presence and patience.
