Anafi island is at a far remove from the rapid pace of modern development, at the edge of the Cyclades, sobered by the Aegean sun and sea salt, isolated in its simplicity.
 
Visitors will fall permanently in love with the unique landscape and the wonderful hospitality offered by the friendly islanders.
Anafi is gradually claiming its stake on the tourism market. It is currently in a position to offer all necessary services to travellers, who do not arrive in Anafi as a regular tourist, but usually have all the characteristics of the explorers of old times; explorers of a virgin and unworldly landscape, discovered each time anew by land and by sea.
 
Anafi is located at the southeastern edge of the Cyclades island complex; the nearest island is Santorini (Thera). It is administratively subject to the Cyclades Prefecture, and Thera province in particular. It has an area of 38.4 square kilometres, a coastline of 32.4 kilometres and a maximum altitude of 579 metres (Mount Vigla). The island's distance from Piraeus port is 155 nautical miles.
Newcomers arrive at the port of Ai Nikolas and then head for Chora, the capital.
 
With an open view to the Cretan Sea, Chora is the only organized settlement, in the typical Cycladic style but with its own unique features. All excursions to the island’s “secret” and visible countryside start in Chora or the port:
