The Greek island of Antiparos<\/strong> is nestled in the center of the Aegean sea, only minutes away from the larger island of Paros. Despite its size, this small island is setting a trend due to its beaches, mild weather, and tranquil atmosphere even during peak season. Although Antiparos is not that well-known, there are many things to do and see on the island.<\/div>\n

Descend into the Cave of Antiparos<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0Cave of Antiparos<\/strong>\u00a0is on Agios Ioannis hill<\/strong>, in the middle of the island. 411 steps take you to the heart of the cave. Impressive natural formations shape one of the biggest caves in Europe. They say it might\u00a0take up to\u00a0120 years for one centimeter of\u00a0stalagmite to form. Some stalactites and stalagmites were mutilated by visitors in the past.<\/p>\n

Wander around the Chora and the Kastro<\/h2>\n

Probably one of the prettiest\u00a0choras<\/em>\u00a0(main town) in the Aegean is the\u00a0Chora of Antiparos, <\/strong>dotted with traditional houses, colorful flowers, and many restaurants\u00a0and grill houses.<\/p>\n

Walk, cycle or driveThe Kastro<\/strong> of Antiparos is a Venetian castle (1440), square and surrounded by traditional houses doubling as walls of the castle in itself. Only its circular tower is still standing today.<\/p>\n

About 39 square kilometers big, Antiparos has the right size for a short visit. Walking is a common but also bike rental is popular among visitors. However, if you prefer to drive, short distances allow cutting on gasoline expenses.<\/p>\n

Visit the port<\/h2>\n

One of the best places to see is the port. Boats from Paros arrive every half hour, as do fishing boats.<\/p>\n

Go shopping<\/h2>\n
\"Shopping

In recent years, Antiparos has become the place<\/em> to shop as trendy concept stores have emerged setting new fashion trends, and selling alternative souvenirs.<\/p>\n

Sail the caves<\/h2>\n

Turquoise is the color that better describes sailing around Antiparos, especially on the coast of\u00a0Agios Georgios<\/strong>. Volcanic formations have created coves, bridges, and caves where a dive is hard to resist.<\/p>\n

Explore Despotiko<\/h2>\n

Right in front of Agios Georgios lies Despotiko<\/strong>, an uninhabited island. On Despotiko it\u2019s possible to see many types of herbs and flowers. Significant archaeological findings give the island characteristics similar to the sacred island of Delos.<\/p>\n

Swim all alone<\/h2>\n

On Despotiko it\u2019s also possible to enjoy lonely beaches in complete silence. The beaches on Despotiko are not organized so it\u2019s necessary to pack water and food to spend time there.<\/p>\n

Wait for the sunset<\/h2>\n

A must: sunset time on Sifneiko beach (photo by Gabi Ancarola).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In Antiparos, it\u2019s a tradition to see the sunset in Sifneiko<\/strong>, also known as Sunset Beach<\/strong>. The caf\u00e9 is close to the main square. Here, it\u2019s possible to enjoy a cocktail while the sun goes down.<\/p>\n

Try a local restaurant<\/h2>\n

Indulge in fresh seafood with a view.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dining in Antiparos can be anywhere from dinner at a traditional taverna, to more sophisticated international options. The favorite local dish is having octopus by the seaside restaurants, in Agios Georgios beach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
