Getting around on Antiparos

The island is small, the distances are short and the roads are few, there is almost no idea to rent a car or a scooter. The most common means of transport is to go on foot since most are within walking distance.

Antiparos is so small that it is enough to rent a bicycle and cycle around the island.

BY BICYCLE, SCOOTER OR CAR

If you want to visit the beaches on the other side of the island, or maybe go to Paros, you can rent a car, scooter or bicycle down at the port. You will have time to see the whole island of Paros in one day if you want to. Please note that you must get permission from the car and bike rental companies to take the car or bike on the ferry over to Paros. It is not certain that the insurance is valid on Paros. Several car and moped rental companies can be found in the port of Chora on Antiparos.

Can you take the scooter, bike or the car from Antiparos on the car ferry over to Pounda on Paros?

I have taken the bike on the car ferry across to Pounda on Paros.

BY BUS

The island's bus goes to the dripstone cave, and to the beaches on the northern side of Antiparos. The bus departs from the port and turns in Agios Georgios.

BY TAXI

Taxi is not available.

BY EXCURSION BOAT

If you want to experience some really good bathing-places, you can go on a boat excursion around the island. There is surprisingly inviting waters and lovely bathing-places along the coast of Antiparos, and at some of the nearby small islands. The scenery is amazing in some places, the cliffs on the south side of the island makes one think of Santorini's dramatic coastline.

The excursion boats M/S Alexandros and Captain Ben depart early every morning from the port.

You don't have to be colorfully dressed when you go on a boat trip. :-)

If you go with Alexandros (which is the only boat we have gone with), five stops are included in caves, in clear blue coves and from rocks. Refreshments are served on board, lunch is served on one of the beaches. Lunch may consist of grilled fresh octopus, sea urchin, souvlaki and salad. Very tasty!

If you go on a boat trip around Antiparos, a barbecue lunch with fresh fish, squid and shellfish as well as sea urchins is included.

Lunch consists of fresh delicacies from the sea, such as sea urchins.

If you are lucky, you might get the chance to help catching octopus during the trip, but it is best to let the crew take care of the sea urchins. I really recommend a day trip with Alexandros and I promise it will be a day you'll never forget.
