Lying southwest of Paros, Antiparos is an island with a pure, serene soul — an off-the-beaten-track haven of whitewashed alleyways, a 15th-century Venetian castle and postcard-perfect shores that still feel like a well-kept secret.

↘ Ancient Islets & Natural Wonders
Its impressive cave is famous for its marvellous stalagmite and stalactite formations, while west of the island, three uninhabited islets — Despotiko, Tsimintiri and Strongylo — once served as significant centres of the Cycladic civilisation. One of the best things to do in Antiparos is to discover its pristine shores and explore the clear waters between the islets by boat.
↘ Best Time to Visit Antiparos
Antiparos is at its most magical from June to September, when the sea turns turquoise and the island’s beach bars and tavernas come alive each evening. May and early October offer a quieter rhythm — warm enough for swimming, with the harbour and Hora to yourself in the soft early or late-season light.
↘ How to Get to Antiparos
Antiparos has no airport of its own, so the journey begins with a flight or ferry to neighbouring Paros — Paros National Airport (PAS) receives domestic flights from Athens, while ferries from Piraeus reach Paros in roughly 3.5 to 5 hours on high-speed services. From Paros, a short hop on the frequent local ferry from Pounda — just a few minutes — brings you straight to Antiparos harbour.
