Savvas Dimitropoulos, Rhodes Travel Advisor, Wednesday 27-09-2023
Welcome back to our Beach Hopping series! Our next stop is the famous Anthony Quinn Bay, nestled between Rhodes and Kolymbia, just after Faliraki. This stunning bay is known for its crystal-clear waters, great for snorkeling, its gorgeous mountain backdrop, and its sheltered location from strong winds. Let's explore the charm and story of Anthony Quinn Bay in simpler terms.
A Hollywood Connection with Rhodes
Once upon a time, Anthony Quinn Bay was a quiet, hidden spot. But its claim to fame came when it appeared in the movie "The Guns of Navarone." The actor Anthony Quinn was so taken by its beauty that he decided to buy the bay, and it was named after him. This is the place where he fell in love with the scenery.
A Must-See Spot
No matter where you're staying on the island, you should definitely visit Anthony Quinn Bay. Whether you're in Rhodes Town, Faliraki, or even Lindos, you can easily stop by for a look. Even if you don't have time for a swim, just taking a moment to enjoy the breathtaking surroundings will help you understand why Anthony Quinn was drawn to this place.
Two Beautiful Bays in One Location
At this special spot, you'll find not just one, but two beautiful bays right next to each other: Anthony Quinn Bay and Ladiko Bay.
