6Anafi – The Quiet Neighbor of Santorini

Just east of Santorini lies Anafi, a small and tranquil island that feels like a peaceful echo of its famous neighbor. Legend says it emerged from the sea to offer shelter to the Argonauts—and today, it offers a refuge for travelers seeking serenity.

With fewer than 300 residents, Anafi is all about simplicity: golden beaches like Roukounas, modest family-run tavernas, and starlit skies untouched by light pollution. The climb to Monastery of Panagia Kalamiotissa, perched high on a mountain, rewards visitors with one of the most breathtaking views in the Aegean.
Go now, before Santorini’s overspill of visitors discovers this hidden paradise.
