A ninety-minute boat ride to the east of Thira, Anafi is the last stop for ferries and hydrofoils and something of a travellers' dead end, with no longer any high season ferries on to Crete or the Dodecanese. Not that this is likely to bother most of the visitors, who intentionally come here for weeks in midsummer, and take over the island's beaches with a vengeance. At most other times the place seems idyllic, and indeed may prove too sleepy for some: there are no bona fide hotels, scooters, discos or organized excursions, and donkeys are still the main method of transport in the interior. Anafi, though initially enchanting, is a harsh place, its mixed granite/limestone core overlaid by volcanic rock spewed out by Thira's eruptions. Apart from the few olive trees and vines grown in the valleys, the only plants that seem to thrive are prickly pears
