A charming rocky bay named after the actor who purchased it during filming of 'The Guns of Navarone' in 1961. Crystal-clear turquoise waters and dramatic rock formations make it ideal for snorkeling. The bay is small but stunning, surrounded by pine trees with views across the Aegean. Sunbeds and a small beach bar available in summer.

Useful tips for visiting Rhodes
Book accommodation early for peak season (July-August) - prices rise 30-50%.
Rent a scooter or car to explore the island - public transport is limited outside Rhodes Town.
Always ask for a receipt - by Greek law, all businesses must issue receipts.
Watch for the broken camera scam at tourist sites - someone asks you to take their photo, then claims you broke their device.
Check menu prices before sitting down at restaurants - some don't display price lists.
Visit the Old Town early morning or late afternoon to avoid heat and crowds.
5-10% tip is appreciated in restaurants but not mandatory. Leave cash to ensure it reaches the waiter.
Bring comfortable walking shoes - Old Town cobblestone streets are uneven.
Use only official bank ATMs (Alpha, Eurobank, Piraeus, Ethniki) - others charge high fees.
Карты МИР не работают в Греции. Используйте Visa/Mastercard казахстанских или других иностранных банков, либо везите наличные евро.
