About this destination
Destination Overview
Just a short distance from Anthony Quinn Bay lies Ladiko Bay, a smaller and more sheltered beach that feels peaceful and relaxed. The bay forms a natural cove protected by rocky hills on both sides, which helps keep the water calm even on windy days.
Ladiko is known for its bright turquoise water and the way the coastline curves around the bay. From the sea, the shape of the bay becomes even more impressive, with small rocky formations and gentle slopes leading into the water.
The seabed here is mostly a mix of sand and small stones, which helps keep the water extremely clear. The calm conditions make Ladiko a very pleasant place to stop for a swim.
