As CC is having her wedding in Antiparos I thought is was a perfect opportunity to write some posts about the island and maybe inspire some you to have your weddings there! Here is the first post.
Antiparos is a small, inhabited island in the southern Aegean, at the heart of the Cyclades, which is less than one nautical mile from Paros. The community of Antiparos was founded in 1914 and was promoted to a municipality in 2010. It occupies an area of 34.8 square miles, which includes both Antiparos and the uninhabited island of Despotiko. It is known for its Cycladic beauty with white houses, cobbled streets and beautiful flowers that thrive in the yards of the houses.
Its main hub lies in the northeastern tip of the island and is centered around its historical Venetian castle. The famous resort of St George is situated on the southwest edge of the island whilst Soros and Kampos, as well as popular beaches such as Psaralyki, Sifneiko and Ag Spiridona are situated more centrally. The most popular beaches on the island are Soros, Glyfa, Apantima and Monastria.

The island is surrounded by many small, uninhabited islands with great historical and archeological interest, such as Tsimintiri the round, The Double and Revmatonisi. Particularly well know in the international community is the Master, an uninhabited island west of Antiparos, which in recent years carried out excavations of great archaeological value.
