About Antiparos

Antiparos sits just across a narrow strait from Paros, reached by a short, frequent ferry, and has grown from a sleepy fishing village into a relaxed, slightly trendy destination. Its compact, walkable Chora is built around a Venetian castle.

The island's biggest natural sight is the Cave of Antiparos, a large stalactite cave visited since antiquity, near the uninhabited islet of Despotiko.
