Anthony Quinn may have been from Mexico, but he filmed several movies in Greece, including Zorba the Greek and Guns of the Navarone, which was filmed at Faliraki.
While there, the actor bought the bay part of the island. Because of this, the bay was renamed from Vagies Bay to Anthony Quinn Bay, which is just over a mile from Faliraki.
Because of its rock surroundings and crystal clear emerald water, it’s considered one of the most beautiful beaches on Rhodes. The bay is a popular mooring spot for sail boats and small watercraft.
