Antiparos

Antiparos this small island just a hop, skip and a jump from Paros is ideal for those seeking peace and quiet from busy Paros . Around the harbour are a few cafes and tavernas catering for visitors, further in the town it is more peaceful and the roads lead you out into the countryside. The Cave of Antiparos is stunning, despite the fact that many of the stalagmites and stalactites have been damaged or stolen. In 1673, the French ambassador, the Marquis de Nointel, held a Christmas mass here, complete with a large orchestra for 500 people.
