Antiparos is a small island in the southern Aegean, at the heart of the Cyclades, which is less than one nautical mile from Paros, the port to which it is connected with a local ferry.The Community of Antiparos was founded in 1914 and was promoted to a municipality in 2010. It occupies an area of 45.182 square km, including the island of Despotiko, an uninhabited island in the southwest of Antiparos, which is a place of great archaeological importance. Antiparos is known for its distinctive Cycladic beauty with white houses, cobbled streets, and beautiful flowers that thrive in the yards of the houses. The main settlement lies at the northeastern tip of the island, opposite Pounda on the main island of Paros, from which a ferry sails to Antiparos harbour. The historical center is located in the Venetian castle of Antiparos, which is connected through the shopping streets to the picturesque coastal street. Other settlements include the famous resort of St. George on the southwest edge, as well as Soros and Kampos. Popular beaches in the wider central area include Sifneiko, Ag Spiridon, Agios Georgios, Soros, Faneromeni, Glyfa, Panagia, Apantima, and Monastiria.

Option number one to get to Paros is by ferry from the port of Piraeus (around 30 minutes drive time from the Athens airport) with destination to Paros (Parikia port). The time and price of the ticket will vary depending on the type of ferry you will choose (highspeed or boat). This will take anywhere between two and five hours from Athens to Paros! Tickets should be purchased in advance and arrival at least one hour before the ferry is scheduled to depart. *This option allows for a vehicle to travel with you to the islands.

Option number two to get to Paros is by airplane from Athens International Airport (ATH) to Paros (PAS). Aegean Air or Sky Express will offer the best rates from Athens to Paros! Air travel time is 40 minutes.
