About Antiparos
This small Greek island is situated in a very close proximity to bigger Paros Island (30 minutes), from which it is separated by narrow channel. This close proximity to Paros makes Antiparos a popular tourist destination for one day visitors.
If you are planning to visit Antiparos and would like to use public transport there are two main options. You may take a frequent and cheap ferry from Punta - preferable option if you have a car - or take a caique from Parikia (throughout the summer).
In our opinion main attraction on Antiparos are a very good quality gold sandy beaches, quiet official nude beaches, and famous cave of Antiparos.
The cave offers a very pleasant shelter from the scorching sun in the summer. It is very deep and a temperature on the bottom drops by around 10 Celsius degrees.
To visit the cave you do not need any special climbing skills or equipment as there are stairs everywhere. The entry cost approximately 5 Euros per person (August 2009).
