Antiparos has a number of beaches with golden sand and blue-green water. Every year, more and more visitors come to Antiparos, and as a result the hotels and limited number of rooms to rent have difficulty in meeting demand at peak periods. Around Antiparos are scores of tiny islands, like guards posted out at sea, inhabited only by wild rabbits and pigeons. Archaeologists have investigated two of these islets: Despotiko produced traces of tombs of the Early Cycladic period, and Saliangos has the ruins of a Neolithic settlement. How to get there: By ferry from Paros (Pounda) By caique from Paros (Parikia)
