Anafi Chora

By bus: Each time a boat calls in at Anafi, there is a bus service from Chora to the port and from the port to Chora. During the summer, there are 7-8 bus services a day from Chora to the port and vice versa, running until late at night. The bus also runs from Chora to the Monastery 3-4 times a day, passing by several of the beaches.

By feet along the footpaths: Starting from Chora, follow the footpath that leads to the port in less than 20 minutes. You can also walk to the beaches, following first the footpath to the Monastery and then taking the detour to the right, which leads to Kleisidi or Katsouni. Pedestrians and animals are free to wander around, as Chora, being a traditional settlement, is off-limits to vehicles.

With 270 inhabitants today, Chora is distinguished from the capitals of other Cycladic islands due to its numerous arched single-room homes, which occupy a large area of the settlement. Narrow cobbled streets criss-cross the village, leading to the Venetian Fortress, the initial nucleus and heart of the village. Several churches are scattered throughout Chora, including those of Agios Nikolaos, the Kimissi (Assumption), Agios Charalambos, Christos tou Stavrou (Christ of the Cross), Agioi Anargyroi and Agios Georgios at the top of the Fortress, all with Byzantine or post-Byzantine icons.

Findings from ancient Anafi can be viewed in the Archaeological Collection.
