What to do and see in Antiparos, South Aegean: The Best Budget-friendly Things to do

August 6, 2021 Yuk Petri

Antiparos (Greek: Αντίπαρος; Ancient Greek: Ὠλίαρος Oliaros) is a small island in the southern Aegean, at the heart of the Cyclades, which is less than one nautical mile (1.9 km) from Paros, the port to which it is connected with a local ferry. Saliagos island is the most ancient settlement in the Cyclades, and Despotiko, an uninhabited island in the southwest of Antiparos, is a place of great archaeological importance.

Faneromeni Beach

One of there most magical beaches we have been at in over 30 years across every part of Greece in the Summer. Avoid the crowded sandy part and anchor your boat on the northern part, close to the beautiful rock enclave. You will never want to leave.

Nudist Beach

Reviewed By 994lonniel - Dallas, United States

This trip was my first visit to this or any Greek beach. It was an easy morning stroll to the beach from my rental. There is also a campground here, however the mini mart and restaurant there are closed for the season come September. I was here September 17-19, 2019. The weather was still quite nice for a day of sunning and exploring. The beach is a nice crescent of fine sand that has a series of trails from the parking area. It's very easy access to the water which has a low to mild current. Less crowded in the mornings and starts filling up a bit mid afternoon. I'm sure in the height of the season it gets quite crowded. No facilities what-so-ever. Pack your trash out. For extra adventure, there is another island just across from the beach you can actually wade or swim to and explore nude as well. It's a nice sandy bottom until you reach the other shore, then it's a bit slippery and rocky. Wear water socks and WATCH YOUR STEP! Nisida Diplo Island has a single disheveled stone building and inhabited by a few wandering goats. It was a great couple of days. This is the only official nude beach in all of Greece. Well worth a visit despite its remoteness. Enjoy!!!

The Cave of Antiparos

Reviewed By sge31 - Sheffield, United Kingdom

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!

Saint George Beach

Reviewed By duhoz - Beroun, Czech Republic

Fantastic beach, but I preferred to stay on more secluded part of the beach behind the small church where you have more privacy but no amenities or shade. The water there is super clear and turquoise without any seaweeds and deep enough for great swimming. The surrounding and views of Despotiko are stunning. Of course the main part offers tavern to satisfy your tummy. Also form there you can get the boat trip to Despotiko Island with the Captan Sargos, at the end of September it was needed to call him, the departures from marina start from 11:00.
