Anthony Quinn Bay

A hidden cove of turquoise waters and dramatic rocky scenery.

Anthony Quinn Bay is one of the most picturesque and romantic coves in Rhodes — a small natural bay surrounded by striking rock formations and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Famous for its stunning scenery, the bay was named after the Hollywood actor Anthony Quinn, who filmed parts of “The Guns of Navarone” nearby.

The water here is exceptionally clear, making it a perfect spot for snorkeling, swimming, and underwater photography. The rocky seabed creates beautiful shades of blue and green, offering an unforgettable coastal experience.

The bay is relatively small and cozy, giving it a peaceful and intimate atmosphere compared to larger beaches. Sunbeds are available along the rocks, and the views from above — especially from the surrounding cliffs — are completely breathtaking.

Whether you’re looking for a relaxing swim, a scenic place to sunbathe, or a unique photo spot, Anthony Quinn Bay is one of the most beautiful corners of Rhodes.
