Things to do in Cyclades, South Aegean: The Best Caverns & Caves
The Cyclades is a group of Greek islands with beautiful, white sandy beaches, rugged mountains and lush valleys. Glamorous Santorini and Mykonos attract the jetset, while lesser-known isles, such as Milos and Naxos, are the perfect places for beach lovers. Ruins, including the 11th-century Dorian settlement and volcanic ash-preserved Ancient Akrotiri in Santorini, amaze those with a bent for ancient history. Sifnos' cuisine wins it admirers. Hydrofoils, ferries and catamarans connect the islands.

This natural cave is a real attraction, and nice to visit; have a nice walk to this cave with a little stream and fresh water; if you visit, have good walking shoes ; from this point you have a stunning view to the blue sea; you can also visit the lovely and quit chapel. Don't miss this nice and lovely visit.

You can get here in the 'Antiparos' boat that leaves Parikia Port on Paros every hour or so. It takes around 20 minutes and costs 5 Euros from Paros to Antiparos on the boat, and for some reason 4 Euros to come back to Paros on certain crossings such as the 5.30pm. But beware the latest entrance time to the cave is 2.30pm and the caves close at 3pm. Don't ask me why! Also the bus that takes you from Antiparos port to the caves stops running around 1pm. The only other option apart from hiring a car or bike is to catch a taxi up to the cave. It takes around 15 minutes by car (you go past Tom Hanks house!) and cost us 16 Euros. If you are with other people who also didn't realise the buses have stopped by 1pm then suggest sharing a cab as we did! The cave is amazing! It says there are 411 steps down to the bottom but it really didn't feel like that many, although your legs will probably start to tremble as ours did! The stalagtites and stalagmites are amazing, the scale and shape of the cave is a sight to behold. There are also amazing views of the bay from the entrance of the cave as you can see from my photo. Highly recommended but arrive before 1pm if you want to get there by bus!
6. Cave of Zeus

Mountain Zeus sits 1003 meters high and the cave is at 600 meters high or 1950 feet. First the drive to the cave is a bit treacherous narrow without guardrails. You park on the mountain side with just enough room for one car to pass. The hike to the cave is half wonderful with steps and path and the other half is a climb thru the rocks, for sure doable. But it is more than 20 minutes Once you are at the cave it is cool. The cave is huge and very cool. Before and after the climb enjoy the running spring water from a faucet by the steps. We did it.

The Roman Catacombs of Milos are truly impressive. The tour lasts about 15 minutes and is guided. Will set you back about 4 euros. While brief, it's worth it. The Catacombs are believed to be older than the ones in Rome, which is pretty awesome! They're also considered to be the most important monument of Early-Christians in all of Greece, so it's definitely worth a stop! I recommend hiking down from the Catacombs to the Ancient Amphitheater, and then down to Klima.
