The Anthony Quinn bay lies at the East Coast (approx. 17 km from Rhodes-town or 3 km behind Faliraki) in a wonderful cove. The beach consists of sand, pebbles and stones. Sun beds and sunshades are available for hire.
A small tavern is above the cove.
The bay become Famous in such movies as "The guns of Navarone"and "Escape to "Athena"
  Near Faliraki is the small pebble-beached cove of LADHIKO where the war film The Guns of Navarone was filmed. It is amusingly dubbed the Anthony 'Queen' bay by owners of the many excursion boats that visit. The Queen title is in homage to the film's star actor Anthony Quin who once bought some property here. More prosaically named Ladhiko, the cliffs are huge and vertiginous but there are only rocks available for sunbathing although another small sandy bay down a nearby dirt track has borrowed the name and cashed in on the visitors with sunbeds and caravan cafe . |
