Venetian Castle of Antiparos
Located at the heart of Antiparos village, this 15th-century fortified complex is a rare example of Cycladic medieval architecture, where houses form a protective circular wall around the castle.
Cave of Antiparos
One of the most remarkable natural monuments in the Cyclades, known since antiquity and explored by notable European figures. The cave features impressive stalactites and historic inscriptions.
Panagia Ekatontapyliani
Located in Parikia, this iconic Byzantine church dates back to the 4th century and is considered one of Greece’s most important early Christian monuments.
Despotiko Archaeological Site
Just off the coast of Antiparos, Despotiko reveals the remains of a major ancient sanctuary dedicated to Apollo, highlighting the region’s religious and maritime significance.
In the south of Paros
Sandy and tranquil beaches — Faragas and Piso Aliki — are just 1.5 km away, far less crowded than those near Naoussa and Parikia. The authentic fishing village of Aliki is minutes away with tavernas, a traditional bakery, fish market, supermarket, pharmacy and ATM.
Directly from the house, guests enjoy wonderful walks through the surrounding hills and mountains, with splendid views of the sea and neighbouring islands.
