Anthony Quinn Bay

Anthony Quinn Bay is the common name for a bay on the east coast of the Greek island of Rhodes. It is located around 15 kilometres from the town of Rhodes and three kilometres from Faliraki in the direction of Lindos near Ladiko.[1]

The bay is a popular tourist attraction due to its cliffs and crystal clear water but also due to its controversial role in film history.[1] Anthony Quinn Bay got its name after the actor Anthony Quinn, who played a role in The Guns of Navarone which was filmed on the island of Rhodes.[2] The Greek government sold the bay to Anthony Quinn for a symbolic sum in acknowledgement of his role in popularising the Greek islands. Later, the sale was annulled by the government. Quinn's dream of creating an international centre for artists and film-makers became unattainable and he avoided visiting Rhodes ever since.[3]
