Antiparos Travel Guide

Antiparos Harbor

Just a short hop from Paros, Antiparos offers the perfect balance of relaxed island charm and just enough going on to keep things interesting. It’s laid-back, beautiful, and easy to fall for. Whether you’re coming for the day or staying a while, here’s everything you need to know.

Antiparos isn’t about big plans — it’s about slow mornings, salty swims, and staying out just late enough. Whether you’re here to unplug or just eat your way through the island, this place makes it easy.

Best Beaches in Antiparos

Soros Beach-Spacious and sandy with some of the island’s clearest water. Settle in at Soros Beach Bar for drinks and long lunches between swims.

Livadia Beach-Wild, remote, and totally unspoiled. If you’re craving off-the-grid, this is your spot.

Agios Georgios Beach-Sheltered bay with calm waters, perfect for families or lazy swims. Plus, you’re right by some of the island’s best seafood.

Faneromeni Beach-A quiet cove that feels like a secret. The dirt road in keeps it quiet — and totally worth it.



Best Restaurants in Antiparos

Sapou Restaurant in Antiparos

Sapou-Modern, creative Greek cuisine with a beachfront view and a relaxed vibe. Think fresh seafood with a twist and local ingredients done right. Great cocktails, too.



Kalokiri-A go-to for elevated Italian in the heart of town. Beautiful space, excellent truffle pasta, and a buzzy atmosphere in the evenings.

Eros Antiparos Burger-Casual and cool. Smash burgers, loaded fries, and milkshakes if you need a break from seafood (or just love a great burger). Great for kids.

Sunset Antiparos-Delicious fresh views with views of the famous Greek sunsets.

Captain Pipinos- Right on the water, this taverna is as classic as it gets. Grilled fish, ouzo, and uninterrupted views of Despotiko Island.

Vicky’s Ice cream-Save room for ice cream at Vicky’s after dinner (or anytime of day). In our opinion by far the best ice cream on the island.

Things to Do in Antiparos

Wander Chora (Antiparos Town)

Cobbled streets, whitewashed houses, boutiques, cafes, and bars. Chill by day, lively by night. Great shopping here too. Be sure to check out Boato concept store for cute unique souvenirs.

Explore the Antiparos Cave

A dramatic cave system with ancient history and wild geology. You’ll climb down 411 steps — and back up again — but it’s worth it.

Boat Trip to Despotiko

Sail around uninhabited Despotiko, snorkel in clear coves, and explore archaeological ruins. It feels like you’ve left the map behind.

Watch the Sunset at Sifneiko Beach

Grab a drink at Sunset Deseo or bring your own — either way, this is where you end your day right.

Stay

Antiparos doesnt have any large hotels which is part of what make it so tranquil. Your best bet may be renting a villa. We like the selection at Le Collectionist.

Soros Beach is a great option for a laid back hotel stay in a great beachfront location.

A remote hotel on an already remote island, The Rooster is where to stay when you really want to disconnect.

Getting There

From Paros, catch the quick 7-minute ferry at Pounda Port (not Parikia). They run all day, and you can bring a car or scooter if you’re planning to explore more remote spots.
