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.
Browse our carefully-selected collection of luxury villas in Antiparos and discover the hidden gem of the Cyclades to the fullest — a serene island retreat that rewards the traveller who seeks something truly authentic.
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.
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.
