Antiparos Town

Antiparos Town or Chora as it is known by the locals, is the beautiful capital of Antiparos and the heartbeat of the island. With it’s typical narrow alleyways, beautiful squares and a main street looks like a scene from a postcard – all pink bougainvillea, vine-shaded terraces and blindingly white walls, – Chora is best explored on foot. In the centre of the village stands Kastro, the remains of the Venetian castle constructed in 1440 to protect the inhabitants from the pirates.

There are plenty of traditional Greek taverns and cafes along the seafront and most of the town is pedestrian-zoned with cobbled streets and many small shops waiting to be discovered. In the main square a vibrant nightlife hub has evolved surrounded by picturesque bars and traditional cafes.
