An island of unique natural beauty, Anafi boasts an expansive sea-level horizon-a rare topographic characteristic for a Cycladic island seen in the number of verdant gardens dotting the landscape. Hora, the island's capital, is built amphitheatrically on a hill. The settlement features white-washed houses capped by colorful domed roofs and narrow stone passages built over the ruins of a Venetian castle.  

Anafi's charm lies in a landscape and settlements virtually untouched by time and a coast rimmed by beaches of golden sand and shimmering teal water. The island is the perfect destination for holidaymakers seeking serenity, a pristine natural environment, and the simplicity of an island lifestyle in the embrace of locals' heartfelt hospitality.

A basic road network, completed in the last few years, makes getting around the island easier for visitors with private transport. Walkers will revel in the ease with which they can combine sightseeing and visits to archaeological sites with a broader exploration of the island. Anafi is also recommended for climbers, provided they have the appropriate gear.

Public transport on the island is adequate, with frequent service between Hora and Ayios Nikolaos (the port), Kleisidi, Katsouni, Flamouro, Mikros Roukounas, Megalos Roukounas, Megas Potamos, Ayii Anaryiri and Monastiri. Renting a bike or scooter is another way to get around.

There are year-round boat connections to Piraeus, Syros, Paros, Naxos, Ios, Sikinos, Folegandros, Thirasia, and Santorini. There are no organized camping facilities on the island, but there are a number of newly-built rental rooms at Hora, the port, Kleisidi, and Roukounas.
