Days at Anaxos Beach
Although Anaxos is a peaceful resort, its beach still proves very popular during the summer. It’s a scenic place with a refreshing breeze offering a bit of respite while sunbathing. There’s also a good choice of traditional restaurants along the beachfront and if you place an order, you can often use their sunbeds too!
Explore nearby towns
The slightly larger (and busier) towns of Petra and Molivos are both nearby, so there’s more to explore if you fancy making the short journey. In Petra, admire the views from Virgin Mary Glikophilousa, an 18th-century church perched on top of a rock. At Molivos, there’s a magnificent castle to visit that peers over the town.
