Antiparos

Antiparos is an island in the island group Cyclades in the Aegean Sea which lies southwest from the island Paros: the boat trip is just ten minutes from Pounta, a little port on Paros which can be reached by bus or taxi, and about twenty minutes from the main port in Paros, Parikia. The island is 57 kilometers long but it's not big in population: there are approximately 600 residents in Antiparos.

Tourism

The largest tourist attraction of Antiparos may be the Cave. It's pretty big with large stalagmites and stalactites, and there are also graffiti in the cave from the 1800's. There are plenty of beaches on the island, but the biggest one is Psaraliki. There are two beaches called Psaraliki, the first and the second, but the first one is the biggest and that's where all the tourists go swimming. Between the beaches lies "Fanari beach club" and beyond the second lies "Time Marine beach club" There are also other beaches and restaurants on the island, but they are harder to reach, although you can take the bus to them from the port. The square in Antiparos is the central meeting place, and this is where all the night clubs and bars are situated.
