Antiparos Cave

A deep cave on the small island of Antiparos, a 10-minute ferry ride from Paros, with impressive stalactites and stalagmites. More than 400 steps lead down about 100 m into its chambers. Visitors have been coming for centuries, and you can see old graffiti, including inscriptions from the 18th century.

Antiparos itself is a quieter version of Paros, with the same beautiful beaches but fewer people, and a relaxed village around a Venetian castle. Small car ferries cross frequently from Pounta on Paros, and boats run from Parikia.
