Overview

Aniforas Beach is one of the most unknown but also one of the most impressive beaches of Rethymnon. It is located near the village of Louros and offers a unique experience for those seeking quiet and isolated beaches. The rocks that surround it, the crystal clear waters and the quiet atmosphere create a landscape that seems to have been taken out of a postcard. The beach is particularly popular with diving fans because of its rich underwater world. The beach is accessed via a country road and a small and difficult path. The beach is not organised, so make sure you bring all the necessary items such as water, food and an umbrella.
