Antiparos
What to do
Where beauty well exceeds its size, Antiparos is a small Greek island located at the heart of the Cyclades. It’s situated just one nautical mile from Paros and it is known for its striking natural beauty.
The island offers stunning shoreline coupled with crystalline emerald waters, golden sandy beaches and hidden swimming caves. Narrow cobbled stone alleys and streets, white-washed houses decorated with pink and purple bougainvilleas and eucalyptus trees offering shadowed pathways, create an inviting island atmosphere.
Gilt-edged Hollywood and shipping homeowners, create a distinct see-and-be- seen social scene and has made this little isle, one of the best kept secret of the Cyclades.
