About Anthony Quinn Bay
Anthony Quinn Bay is located on the island of Rhodes, 4 km south of Faliraki. It has been known by this name since actor Anthony Quinn bought that area of Rhodes when he was filming the movies “The Guns of Navarone.” It’s not surprising why he fell in love with the area with its natural stone surfaces that make ideal places to sit and lounge under the sun. There are pine trees that extend all the way to the water’s edge. The water at Anthony Quinn Bay is a beautiful emerald-green color thanks to the greenery around the beach.
While the beach is extremely beautiful, one of the nicest on the island of Rhodes, it is not ideal for families with young children due to the sharp rocks both on the shore and in the water. It is the perfect place for adults, groups of friends, and anyone wanting to relax on their own.
During the summer months, the small beach of Anthony Quinn Bay can become crowded. At the top of the bay’s rocks, there is a canteen where you can get refreshments.
