Your Ultimate Guide to Reaching Antiparos Easily

Antiparos doesn’t have its own airport, so the easiest way to reach it is via Paros. From Paros, you have two options:

By boat from Parikia port – Boats run throughout the day, the trip takes about 30 minutes, and tickets cost around €7 per person.

By ferry from Pounda – Just 10 minutes by car or bus from Parikia. The ferry ride takes only 7 minutes and costs about €1.5 per person or €7 with a car. This is the fastest and most budget-friendly option, especially if you’re bringing a vehicle.

💡 Tip: If you’re traveling with luggage or without a car, the Parikia boat is more convenient. If you have a vehicle or want the cheapest option, the Pounda ferry is perfect.

Personal experience: We stayed at the camping site and had a wonderful time. The staff were very helpful, and in the evening a warm, social atmosphere forms with live music from campers.

💡 Tip: Book early in August and prefer accommodations with a kitchen to keep your budget low.

Coffee & Sweets ☕

Even for a few euros, you can enjoy coffee or sweets without hurting your wallet

Small cafés in Town (espresso or frappé 2-3 €).

Gelateria Siamo: Fresh island-made ice cream (~2-3 € per scoop).

Small pastry shops for daily sweets or cookies (~2-3 €).

Fresh juices or smoothies at local cafés (~3-4 €).

• In the Town, you’ll find several grill houses, such as Stou Gianni, where you can have a satisfying meal at low cost.
• For breakfast, it’s worth walking around the charming Town to visit the Antiparos Bakery or one of the local mini-markets — you can prepare your own breakfast and keep costs down.
• The camping site also has a buffet-style restaurant with several home-cooked dishes at very reasonable prices. In the evening, campers gather to charge phones and relax, often playing live music, creating a friendly and lively atmosphere.

💡 Tip: If you visit Despotiko or Agios Georgios, bring your own food, as options there are limited and usually more expensive.

Antiparos may be small, but it has beaches for every preference — from organized to quiet and secluded.

Psaralikes: The closest to the Town (~10 minutes on foot), perfect for a swim without transportation costs. A relatively large beach with nice shade, thanks to the trees just above creating a natural shelter.

Soros: Perhaps the island’s most famous beach, with golden sand and crystal-clear waters. It has both organized and free areas and requires transportation to reach.

Faneromeni: Small beach with turquoise waters and rocks for exploration. Ideal for quiet moments, but access by local buses is impossible.

Agios Georgios & Despotiko: Located in the southern part of the island, with views of Despotiko. Great for swimming and a meal at a seaside taverna. For Agios Georgios, it’s recommended to combine it with a boat trip to Despotiko (~€40 per person) and some natural caves.

Beach at the camping site: The only camping beach on the island is not really a nudist beach but more of a student-style beach. People read, play beach volleyball, or enjoy other water activities. The beach is clean, with a small islet across the water for swimming

💎 Antiparos Cave: One of the island’s most impressive attractions, featuring stunning stalactites and stalagmites. Located near the Town, easily accessible by the daily bus (~€7 per person), which is valid for all stops. A visit lasts around 30-45 minutes and is perfect to combine with beaches or a stroll in Town.
