The beach of Roukounas in Anafi

Roukounas beach in Anafi is favored by many, due to its picturesque position in the south of the island. It is just a four kilometer journey from the town centre.

Roukounas has been a favored spot of nature fanatics for quite some time, due to its seclusion and peacefulness. Alas, camping and nudism are no longer allowed. It is an extensive beach that stretches for nearly 500 meters.

Anafi’s beaches offer a lot of variety. From the sand on the shoreline to the depths of its crystal-clear blue waters, you can find it all. There are no organized areas, so don’t expect umbrellas or sunbeds for rent, however there are 4 showers and toilets nearby as well as tamarisk trees to provide some shade.

Visiting the beach with the correct items is highly recommended. For those looking for refreshment, a cafeteria and tavern in the area offer water, coffee, and food. The Monastery of Zoodochos Pigi is accessible from Chora through the regional road network.
