Aghios Georgios | | |
South of Antiparos, facing the desert island of Despotiko, it's a great place to escape the crowds and rest in quietness. A few scattered houses, taverns at the edge of the water. Far from everything, but served by a bus line. |
Aghios Ioannis | | |
The cave of St. John is a renowned attraction of Antiparos. Perfectly equipped and well-lit, this magnificent cave is a must-see and an unforgettable visit. In summer, it's a cool haven. |
Antiparos Village | | |
Port and capital of Antiparos, it is the most lively place on the island, especially in July-August. Beautiful beaches nearby, ancient kastro, restaurants, bars and shops. |
Despotiko Sanctuary | | |
The archaeological sites of the island have not yet been fully excavated. Many buildings have been identified, including a sanctuary of Apollo. The site is not equipped for visitors but a project exists and Despotiko could one day become an open-air museum like Delos. |
Livadi Beach | | |
South of Despotiko, this beautiful sandy beach is a stopover for boat cruises organized from Antiparos. It's thus not always a deserted beach, but you'll feel at the end of the world anyway! |
Petalidha | | |
If you really want to feel like standing at the end of the world, hike to Faneromeni Chapel, at the end of Petalidha Peninsula (also accessible with a 4WD). It's a really magical place! |
Pounta | | |
On the west coast of Paros, 8 km southwest of Parikia, the Pounta pier is the starting point of the small ferry shuttle to Antiparos. You can also go to Antiparos with a "karavaki" (small passenger boat) from Parikia. |
Soros Beach | | |
A beautiful sandy beach in the south of the island, where you can go by bus from the village of Antiparos. It is very popular in high season and there is a tavern in summer. |
Spyridon Rocks | | |
North of Antiparos, a few picturesque islets and reefs are a stopover for boat cruises. (Even when the sea is quiet, this is a dangerous swimming place, be very careful!) A steep but secure trail leads to the chapel of Aghios Spyridon, standing on top of the largest islet. |
