Routes for all
Chorio-Glyfa-Spilaio At the centre of Antiparos, on the hill of Agios
Ioannis, lies one of the most beautiful caves in the world, the oldest
known cave in Greece. The chapel of Agios Ioannis Spiliotis is at the
entrance of the cave, and was built in the 18th century. The celebrations
for Ai Giannis Spiliotis take place on 7 May at the entrance of the cave,
with traditional local dishes and folk dances.

Sea and action
Antiparos is surrounded by golden beaches with crystal blue waters:
Psaraliki, Sifneikos Gialos, Agios Spyridonas, Agios Georgios, Diapori,
Theologos, Livadi. The layout of the island enables visitors to explore
virgin beaches of unique beauty, or head to the busier ones. You can
arrange to be taken to the beaches by boat or even take a trip around the
island, from the port of Antiparos to Agios Georgios. The scenery is
unforgettable: sandy beaches alternate with caves and multi-coloured

rocks in impressive formations, making a fascinating contrast with the
blue of the sea.
For those who want their holidays to be more than swimming,
professionals offer unique experiences, including diving into the
wonderful waters of the island, sea kayaking and windsurfing. Sports and
sea sports events are held in Antiparos, open to both Greek and foreign
visitors, while fishing lovers will find the ideal fishing spots in Agios
Georgios and Despotiko.
In the spring, from mid-March until the end of April, 9 and 13 kilometre
biking trips are organised from Chorio through Kambos to Livadi.
ONLY IN ANTIPAROS
The cave of Antiparos, estimated to be 45 million years old, has 410 steps
that take visitors to a depth of 100 metres, where they can see splendid
formations of stalactites and stalagmites. Ancient vessels were found
inside the cave, as well as several inscriptions: a dedication to the
goddess Artemis, as well as the name of the lyric poet Archilochus, and
the names of those who, according to tradition, had conspired against
Alexander the Great and sought refuge in the cave.
