Anafi
Anafi seems to have remained unchanged over the years, which makes it special as well as an ideal holiday destination in Cyclades. There are rooms to let, restaurants, taverns, cafes and bars while the locals are friendly and hospitable. Moreover, in Anafi, you will find beautiful beaches with crystal clear waters and amazing sand beaches. It is not a particularly big island and you can even explore it on foot, if you prefer. It is worth visiting the Ancient City of Anafi, the Venetian castle, the Dragon cave, with the beautiful stalactites as well as the Zoodochos Pigi monastery. According to the mythology, god Apollo orders that Anafi emerges from the sea to offer refuge to Jason and the Argonauts who were fighting with the waves and nowadays it offers refuge, as it did back then, to those who seek a few peaceful days in the sun and by the sea.
