Sometimes, you have to work a little harder to get the truly remarkable things in life, and a visit to Antiparos is no different. The island, which is located in the heart of the Cyclades islands, in the southern Aegean, doesn\u2019t have an airport. Which means to get there, you need to fly to nearby Paros, and take the ferry from Pounda port.<\/p>\n

Far from being a chore though, this is a charming start to your island adventure, and who could complain about spending time on a boat under the bright Greek sun?<\/p>\n

Explore<\/h3>\n

Antiparos is not a tourist trap. Which means there\u2019s not a lot of commercial, manufactured tourist experiences. But there is more than enough local culture and history to explore, and of course, as you would expect from a Greek island, the beaches are spectacular! There\u2019s even a nudist beach, if you\u2019re feeling particularly adventurous, or you want an all over tan.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not claustrophobic, a visit to the Cave of Antiparos is a must. This soaring underground cathedral has some of the most amazing stalactite and stalagmite formations you will ever see, and it\u2019s just a stone\u2019s throw from the town of Chora.<\/p>\n

Within Chora town limits, you can visit the ruins of the Venetian Castle, which was built in the 15^{th<\/sup> century to protect the town from pirates!<\/p>\n}

There are also historic churches and museums to visit, and if you\u2019re not content with the beaches on the island, you can visit the uninhabited island of Despotiko. It\u2019s the perfect combination of rugged and breathtakingly beautiful, but when your desert island adventure is over, you can go back to your comfortable hotel bed!<\/p>\n

Eat!<\/h3>\n

Of course, you can\u2019t visit anywhere in Greece without indulging in local delicacies, and Antiparos is no different.<\/p>\n

Indulge in freshly caught seafood while you sit at a table just a stone\u2019s throw from the ocean, they were caught in. Sip cocktails under the vine leaves in a stone paved patio or enjoy tapas, strong coffee, and sweet treats at one of the caf\u00e9s and tavernas dotted throughout the island.<\/p>\n

The food, wine, and companionship. You will find in the bars, restaurants and other establishments in Antiparos simply cannot be matched.<\/p>\n

Antiparos is not as modern or busy as some of the Greek islands. It feels like a lifetime away from the hustle and bustle of Athens or even Heraklion. You won\u2019t find big shopping malls or flashy nightlife here. But if you want to experience the true magic of the Greek islands, there\u2019s nothing that even comes close.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
