Anafi

Where to stay: Ta Plagia
If you want some isolation, even in high season, Anafi is your island. Another 90 minutes past Santorini on the ferry, this really is the end of the line. You will probably find Athina, the owner of Ta Plagia, waiting at the small port for the boat to arrive. Her 12 simple rooms are a delight, with great views down to the sea.

Where to eat: To Steki 
Five minutes’ stroll on from Ta Plagia is the oldest taverna on the island, and still the destination of choice for many locals and Anafi “old hands”, making it a good place to swap gossip on hidden coves and hikes. The welcome and the food are both traditionally Greek.

Don’t miss
The pleasure of Anafi comes from its peaceful isolation and fantastic beaches. If you do want to stir yourself, the stiff hike up Cape Kalamos is well worth it, and rewards with fabulous views. Apparently this is the largest single rock formation in Europe (including Gibraltar). On its slopes can be found two uninhabited monasteries, including the whitewashed Kalamiotissa at its peak.
