Review:
Lying southwest of Páros, the tiny islet of Antiparos is ideal for a relaxing escape from the bustling and busy island of Páros. Once connected to Páros by a causeway, the little island can now be reached from the west coast resort of Poúnda or Parikía by boat. Known as Oliaros in ancient times, Antíparos has several beautiful beaches and the massive Cave of Antíparos on Ayios Ioánnis Hill, which was discovered during the reign of Alexander the Great and boasts a breathtaking array of stalactites and stalagmites. The main town (Hóra) of Antíparos is built around a 15th century Venetian castle and features charming stone-paved streets, whitewashed houses decorated with blossoming pink and purple bougainvillea and an enchanting central square with shady eucalyptus trees.
