Description

Less than a kilometer away of Paros is the little island of Antiparos. Even though more and more people are visiting the island the last years, it remains authentic with its long coastline waiting for us to discover. Isolated creeks with clear blue waters and "Despotiko" to catch sight with the imposing rocks that make you stare at them is a great destination which you will love.

Despotiko is now one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece. Harmoniously tied to the natural environment, the temple of apollo after its restoration is an open museum. Here you can browse the archaeological site or enjoy the deserted beaches that complete the lunar landscape of this small uninhabited island.

Τhe depth of the sea from Despotiko to Antiparos does not exceed one meter, a characteristic that makes the water turquoise and makes you feel like you are in the caribbean. There could be no better location for relaxation enjoying this scenery.

Very close and very small yet quite busy, Antiparos is a great destination from Naxos.
