Anthony Quinn Bay

Located adjacent to the serene Ladiko beach, Paralia Antoni Kouin or Anthony Quinn Bay is an inlet of stunning crystal blue water. This popular cove, with its famous turquoise water, ideal for swimming and sunbathing, is situated on the eastern side of Rhodes island. This beach offers scuba diving, snorkelling, and other water sports options for those looking for a thrill.

This small beach is located only a few minutes away from Faliraki. As the seabed here is rocky, tourists are advised to sport sea shoes to go in and out of the water. It has a free parking space at a walk of 2-3 minutes. The beach’s name was changed from its original name, ‘Vagies’ after the 60s famous movie, ‘The guns of navarone’ featuring popular actor Anthony Quinn, was shot here. Quinn was incidentally so enchanted by this place that he tried to buy it to create a global centre of holiday for the who’s who of the film world. He was unsuccessful in this endeavour, but nonetheless, this island is a popular spot among movie buffs.
