Soros, Antiparos, Greece
Arrival on the tiny island of Antiparos impresses upon you at once the feeling that time has stood still. Surrounded by landscapes that have barely changed over 3000 years, the alchemy of this captivating island offers a restorative, cathartic and essential sense of wellbeing.
Encompassed by the stunning sparkling Aegean with a multitude of beaches you can submerge yourself into a timeless haze of pleasurable repetition. The small charming village of Antiparos is filled with busy cafes, bars, small boutiques and a large variety of restaurants which are open late into the night for those who wish to avoid the heat of the day.
There is no airport on the island, however there are various easy ways to arrive:
Olympic and Sky Express Airlines fly from Athens to Paros several times as day. During the summer months Ferries from Athens to Paros operate twice a day, ferries from Mykonos operate daily.
A fifteen minute taxi ride from the airport or from Parikia, the port of Paros, will take you to the small port of Pounda, from there, a slipper ferry to Antiparos takes approximately ten minutes and runs every thirty minutes.
Then for a more luxurious mode of travel a helicopter can be arranged from Athens Airport directly to the island.
