AGIA ANNA
So, let’s not forget that your support is needed, now more than ever, following the 2021 wildfires. The locals and their businesses are trying to get back on their feet and make a new start without losing their smile or their sense of heart-warmed hospitality.
A few words about the place
Agia Anna is in the northern part of the island belonging to the Municipality of Mantoudi – Agia Anna. There is the mountainous village of Agia Anna and Agali, a large pebbled sandy beach. There are two main rivers in the area, Kireas in the South and Nileas in the North.
Agia Anna has a small seaside residential area with a beautiful esplanade, ideal for walking or riding a bike. Along the way, you will find many cafes, restaurants, and beach bars ready to serve you and add value to your holidays.
You will find many hotels, rooms to let, and one of the largest camping sites in Greece (having been in operation for many years). It attracts families, teenagers, students, and older people who have visited the place for many years and made it into their summer rendezvous.
And how could it not be?

What to see/highlights:
The area’s greatest asset is the almost 8 km long beach offering everything the beachgoers might need to enjoy their swim. It is famed for its high waves, being situated on the Aegean Sea, but it can also be enjoyed when it is dead calm. The Aegean waters are always crystal-clear, inviting, and relaxing.
One of the many activities offered is horse riding along the beach – a unique experience.
Riding a horse alongside the Aegean waters at the sunset may sound as part of a dream come true, but in Agia Anna, this can be realized.
There are many smaller “hidden” beaches such as the serene ‘Sarakiniko’. You access it from a short (10 minute walk) path which brings you to a post-card perfect ‘tropical’ place with vibrant turquoise coloured waters.
