Anthony Quinn Bay
Located on the eastern coast of Rhodes, this bay gained worldwide fame after the famous actor fell in love with it during the filming of "The Guns of Navarone." For yacht charter guests, it is a unique stop surrounded by high cliffs, sheltered from the wind, and featuring crystal-clear waters. On blue cruise itineraries, it is considered one of the region's best snorkeling spots due to its vibrant underwater life and rocky seabed. In this narrow cove that preserves its natural texture, you can crown your day with fresh seafood and Greek appetizers at the local seaside establishment.

Personal Insight
Captain's Note
“"The water here isn't just blue; it’s an intense emerald. Snorkel near the rocks to see why the 'Zorba' himself claimed this bay as his own."
