Antiparos island

Choose as another destination Antiparos and yacht with M/S DOXA II to that island which belongs to the island group Cyclades in the Aegean Sea. In the modern eparchy of Naxos, separated by a strait from the west coast of Paros: the trip with M/S DOXA II is just ten minutes from Pounta, a little port on Paros and about twenty minutes from the main port in Paros, Parikia. The island's seashore is 57 kilometers long, but it's not big in population: there are approximately 900 residents in Antiparos, most of whom live in Kastro, a village on the north coast, and are employed in agriculture and fishing.

Yacht with M/S DOXA II to the south coast of the island Antiparos you have the possiblity to find a stalactite cavern, which is the largest tourists attraction there. It is reached by a narrow passage broken by two steep and dangerous descents which are accomplished by the aid of rope-ladders. The grotto itself, which is about 150 feet by 100, and 50 feet high (not all can be seen from any part, and probably some portions are still unexplored), shows many remarkable examples of stalactite formations and incrustations of dazzling brilliance. In the entrance of the cavern you find an inscription recording the names of visitors in ancient times. The marquis de Nointel (ambassador of Louis XIV to the Porte) was the first traveller of modern times whose visit is recorded, who descended it with a numerous suite and held high mass there on Christmas day 1673. Accessible areas of the cavern walls are covered with graffiti, some of them beautifully lettered, recording visitors during the 18th and 19th centuries: these include royalty and other well-known tourists alongside geologists and engineers.

There are plenty of beaches on the island which you can examinate with M/S DOXA II, but the biggest one is Psaraliki. Two beaches are called Psaraliki, the first and the second, but the first one is the biggest and that's where the most tourists go swimming, but you can choose to stay on board of M/S DOXA II and relish the greek sun and the cristal water over there. Between the beaches you find "Fanari beach club" and beyond the second lies "Time Marine beach club" There are also other beaches and restaurants on the island, which you can explore if you like to spend with M/S DOXA II some more time or days there.

The square in Antiparos is the central meeting place, and this is where most of the night clubs and bars are situated.
