Anafi (Ανάφη) is a small, 40.370 km2, island with only about 270 inhabitants, It is the southesternmost of the Cyclades. It is a barren island seldom visited by yachts because its small harbor does not offer good protection.
According to the Greek Mythology Apollo caused Anafi to emerge from the sea, during a bad storm, in order to give protection to the Argonauts.
