As a small island in the Cyclades archipelago, Antiparos may be petite in size, but it offers nearly 60km of coastline, which means there are plenty of beaches to be discovered. In recent years, the island has become a beloved destination among discerning travelers seeking unspoiled and beautiful holiday spots. Formerly known as Oliaros in ancient times, Antiparos showcases the typical Cycladic landscape, adorned with whitewashed churches, traditional cottages, secluded bays with emerald waters, and sandy beaches. The main village and port, also named Antiparos, epitomize traditional Greek island charm, with its narrow alleyways, charming squares, and picturesque white houses adorned with blooming courtyards. At the heart of the village stands Kastro, the remains of a Venetian castle dating back to 1440, built to protect the island's inhabitants from pirate raids.

Antiparos town offers an array of traditional Greek tavernas and cafes along the seafront, providing the perfect setting to savor delicious local cuisine while enjoying the mesmerizing coastal views. The town itself is predominantly pedestrianized, with its cobbled streets inviting you to leisurely explore the small shops and boutiques that line the charming alleyways. In the main square of the village, a vibrant nightlife hub has emerged, surrounded by sophisticated bars and traditional coffee shops, where you can revel in the island's vibrant social scene.
