Natural stone surfaces ideal for reclining under the sun, pine trees reaching down to the water's edge, emerald green water - the famous actor Anthony Quinn certainly showed impeccable taste when he fell in love with its miniature bay. The beach is known today by the actor's name since he bought this part of the island when filming "The Guns of Navarone" here.

Anthony Quinn Bay is situated on the east coast of Rhodes, about 4 kilometers south of Faliraki beach. The waters here owe their deep emerald colour to the lush green vegetation which surrounds the beach. It is unarguably one of the most beautiful beaches on Rhodes, even though you will not find fine sand and much available space. It's mostly popular with young people, especially Italians and locals, since the sharp rocks both in and out of the water are not ideal for families with young children or elderly people.

Because of it's small size, Anthony Quinn beach feels fairly crowded during July and August. This, however, is not so much because of the number of visitors per se, it is more because the small with of the beach. The finest spot is the rock right in the centre of the beach, with room for just a few sun beds. At the top of the rocks you will find a modern bar and cafeteria, from which you can enjoy the view towards the beach from a high point.

We rented mopeds for the day and arrived in the middle of the morning to find that everything was packed, including all of the sun loungers on the beach and every seat in the restaurant. We had a quick look around and took a few pictures before moving on to the next bay's beach, which was less crowded and equally lovely.

Anthony Quinn is a beautiful bay with water that is ideal for snorkeling and is very clean. There are beds and loungers available, but it's better to arrive very early because they fill up quickly. The bar that overlooks the bay is a pleasant location to haze at the beach while enjoying a coffee or having a light meal.

Wondered why we were the only 'old' people in this bay. Apparently it's the sharp stones? Hadn't noticed myself. Anyway I can't understand why no one has mentioned the most stunning cliff walk from here over to Faliraki. It's only about 2 miles in total but even the first mile to the top of the ridge is amazing. This walk should be in Rhodes top 10... even young people might enjoy it, as they cope so well with sharp stones.

I have to admit that I visited Rhodes more than seven times, and have really found this Bay as one of the most exclusive and enjoyable places I have been to in my life. Visit the place YOU will not regret it.

July 2008. The most beautiful beach on whole island!

Commented by maja January 09, 2009

This bay is a must see! just got back from Rhodes and this bay was the best snorkeling ever, perfectly clear, very warm, not too deep and as calm as ever, this is the place to teach the kids, don't forget a pair of swim shoes as we found the rocks sharp and HOT! getting down to the waters edge. Getting there is easy from Rhodes town bus station under 2 Euros but when you get there you must walk down a very steep hill and the bus back is a hard slog back up the hill to the bus stop at the very posh Hotel (cant remember its name?) at the top of the hill. Dont miss it!

I've just mentioned on the Agathi page, how much I enjoyed that beach. Seeing as we're visiting again I am definitely coming here. Watch this space!

Take the time to visit this lovely and quiet beach! Bring a picnic and spend the entire day!! The eatery is ok for a quick bite but nothing to rave about. Bathroom and shower facilities are available.
