Essentials

City
Antiparos, South Aegean, Cyclades, Greece 1
Population
1,265 permanent residents in the 2021 census, up from 1,211 in 2011. The municipality covers Antiparos and Despotiko. 1 2
Internet Speed
Average 45 Mbps (Starlink is widely used by hosts; 4G/5G coverage is strong in Chora)
Currency & Banking
Euro (EUR). On 22 October 2026 the European Central Bank rate was 1 EUR = 1.1205 USD, about 0.8925 EUR per USD. This sheet keeps that country-prep rate. The daily file on 26 October 2026 already showed 23 October at 1.1193 USD. 3
Tap Water
Wikivoyage says tap water in most tourist places is drinkable, but on small islands it often tastes poor because it is brought in and heavily chlorinated, and many people buy bottles. In 2024 the municipality and Aegean Rebreath fitted reverse-osmosis filters in interested cafes and the municipality publishes network tests, which is why bottled water is still the practical choice. A half-litre bottle was about 0.50 euro at a street kiosk in July 2022. 4 14
Power
230 V, 50 Hz, Type C and F (Europlug and Schuko). 4
SIM Card
Cosmote, Vodafone and Nova sell prepaid SIMs; Wikivoyage still lists the Nova network under its old Wind name and says identification is required to activate a prepaid plan. Vodafone Combo 9GB is 14.50 euro for 30 days, with 9 GB, unlimited national calls and 100 SMS. That is the plan in the Antiparos costs file. Cosmote is the wider island network. A tourist eSIM price was not on an operator page. 4 13
Banking for Expats
Revolut and Wise highly recommended; Piraeus Bank on Paros for local accounts
Accommodation
Boutique hotels, villas, and seasonal studios via Airbnb or local agencies like Antiparos Homes
Cashless Friendly
Cards are widely used in shops. The municipality says car-ferry tickets can be paid by cash or card. A July 2026 fare guide for the same Pounta ferry still says cash only, in euros, with no cards. 6 12
Short Term Rentals
Airbnb, Booking.com, and Kouros Village (Monthly off-season rates: €800-€1,200)
Budget Accommodation
Antiparos Camping (Bungalows approx. €35/night), various student-oriented rooms in Chora
Best Area to Stay for Tourists
Chora (Main Port) for walking access to shops and the Kastro district 1 5
Best Area to Stay for Digital Nomads
Chora, by the port, is where the shops, the bus and Nautica Cafe are. There is no coworking desk on the island. Agios Georgios is a quieter beach village on the seasonal bus, not a place with its own desks. 6 16 30

Working and Networking

Best Coworking Space
Antiparos has no dedicated coworking desk. Nautica Cafe at the port (phone 22840 61323) has an internet connection. The Rooster, a seasonal hotel above Livadia Bay that closes on 5 October, is a hotel stay rather than a desk rental; its restaurant welcomes outside visitors for breakfast upon availability. 16 17 27
Best Cafe for Work
Nautica Cafe at the Antiparos port, phone 22840 61323, serves drinks and snacks and has an internet connection and electronic games. 16
Networking Events
Informal gatherings at 'Boogaloo' bar during high season; Beach Clean-up events by local NGOs
Social Events for Expats
Facebook Group 'Antiparos Community' and seasonal art exhibitions at the Kastro

Transportation

Best Taxi/Ride App
No ride-hailing app. The island directory lists two taxis: Evaggelos Zappas on +30 6988848484 and Marina Moraki on +30 6970 624750. 30 31 32
Bike/Scooter Rental
Wikivoyage says several rental shops by the port offer bicycles, scooters, ATVs and cars, and that many smaller roads are poor. A named day rate was not on that page. The July 2026 ferry guide prices a scooter or quad on the Pounta ferry at 2 euro one way. 5 12
Best Beach Nearby
Soros is on the island bus from the port. Near town, Wikipedia names Psaralyki, Sifneiko, Agios Spyridon and the camping beach, plus Glyfa, Apantima and Monastiria. Livadia, below The Rooster, is a sandy bay open to the north. 1 17 30
Top Regional Airline
Olympic Air flies daily from Athens to Paros Airport, and the municipal transport page also lists Aegean on that route. Paros Airport (PAS) is about 35 minutes from Antiparos by car including the short Pounta ferry crossing. 5 6 17
Top International Airline
Lufthansa, British Airways (Fly to Athens, then domestic flight or ferry)
Highway Access
A paved road leaves the port just left of the ferry dock and runs about 8 km south to the cave, with a large car park. The island bus continues toward Agios Georgios. A single loop road around the island was not described on the pages opened. 11 30
Main Train/Transit Hub
No railway. The car ferry between Antiparos and Pounta on Paros takes about 7 minutes and runs all year. A July 2026 fare guide prices a foot passenger at 1.50 euro one way, a child at 0.75 euro and under-10s free, with daytime boats often every 20 to 30 minutes. The municipality prices the seasonal passenger boat to Parikia at 5 euro and about 30 minutes, with no vehicles; the July 2026 guide prices that boat at 7 euro. 6 12
Public Transport Passes
A bus leaves the port, opposite Agia Marina, for the cave and for Panagia, Glyfa, Apantima, Soros and Agios Georgios. In the 2026 summer season the operator was Oliaros Tours, a private company, running several times a day from 11:00 to 19:00; no fare or monthly pass was printed. On Paros, KTEL buses link Parikia with the Punda ferry pier. 11 30
Regional Travel
The Pounta car ferry is about 7 minutes. A passenger boat runs from Parikia to Antiparos, about 30 minutes, no vehicles, from late May through October, with the 2026 service back from 18 May. Paros has ferries from Athens and Santorini, among others. Onward high-speed times to Naxos, Mykonos or Santorini were not on the pages opened. 5 12

Health and Wellness

Best Hospital
Antiparos Regional Medical Office, at the entrance to the settlement, is open 09:00 to 14:00, phone 22840 61219. Emergencies go to the doctor on call. Paros Health Centre is in Parikia, postcode 84400, phones 22843 60000 and 22843 60003. The Antiparos municipal page still lists 22840 22500. It is not a 15-minute ferry ride: the car ferry lands at Pounta, and the passenger boat to Parikia takes about 30 minutes. 7 15 6
Yoga & Wellness Centers
The Rooster, above Livadia Bay, offers guests a free yoga class at 09:00 in the open-air pavilion. Its House of Healing is open daily 10:00 to 20:00, with steam rooms, an infrared sauna and treatments for guests aged 18 and above; the hotel closes on 5 October. Anama Yoga at Soros was not on a page opened this pass. 17 26
Gyms & Fitness Centers
The Rooster has an outdoor fitness area for guests, unsupervised with private training available, open during House of Healing hours, 10:00 to 20:00; the hotel closes on 5 October. No public monthly gym tariff on Antiparos was opened. The costs file borrows an Athens gym price for that reason. 26 28
Laundry Services
Antiparos Laundry & Dry Cleaning (Near the main pedestrian street)

Food and Drink

Best Food Delivery App
Limited; Fate Paketo (Local Paros/Antiparos service). Direct phone ordering is more common
Best Local Dish to Try
Sun-dried mackerel (gouna) and grilled octopus at Captain Pipinos, a seasonal taverna on the water at Agios Georgios, open daily 12:00 to 23:00 in season, looking across to Despotiko. 17
Vegan/Vegetarian Options
Blender (Smoothie bowls/salads), Lollo's Pizzeria (Excellent vegetarian pizzas)

E-commerce/Online Store
Skroutz.gr (The 'Amazon of Greece'), delivery takes 3-5 days to the island
Grocery Delivery
Local grocery stores offer phone delivery for orders over €30
Bar/Nightlife Area
In summer the town comes alive in the evening. Wikivoyage names Sunset Beach, on the north-western shore about five minutes from the main street, for drinks and the sunset. At The Rooster, above Livadia, the bars operate until 01:00 and include The Disco, a speakeasy; the open-air bar welcomes outside visitors upon request. 5 27 28
Local Brewery
56 Isles (Craft beer from neighboring Paros, widely available in Antiparos bars)

Mori Wine Bar (Located in the Kastro district)
Street Food Stalls

Culture and Attractions

Must-See Landmarks
Antiparos Cave, about 8 km south of Chora, with about 411 steps down to roughly 85 m. A May 2026 guide prices adult entry at 6 euro, including the Historical and Folklore Museum; children aged 6 to 12 pay 3 euro and under 6 go free. Open daily 10:00 to 16:00 through October 2026, last entry 15:30. Wikivoyage still prints 3.50 euro. 11 5
Museums & Art Venues
The May 2026 cave ticket (6 euro) includes the Historical and Folklore Museum of Antiparos. The Venetian Kastro in Chora is the castle, not a separate museum. 11 1
Historical Sites
Despotiko, a small island southwest of Antiparos, has pieces of a Doric temple from about 500 BC. Wikivoyage says excavations have been going on since 1997. A boat departure point was not on that page. 5 1
Religious Sites
Agia Marina stands in front of the port as you come off the ferry. At the cave entrance are the chapels of Agios Ioannis Spiliotis and Zoodochos Pigi. Agios Ioannis Spiliotis holds a festival on 7 and 8 May. 6 11 12
Annual Events
The chapel of Agios Ioannis Spiliotis at the cave holds a festival with local food and drink on 7 and 8 May. An Agia Marina festival on 15 to 17 July was not on a page opened this pass. 11
Cultural Districts
The Venetian Kastro (15th-century fortified settlement in the heart of Chora) 1
Theater Venues
Outdoor cinema screenings at the Cine Antiparos during summer
Local Markets
Pop-up artisan markets in the Kastro during July and August

The Rooster, above Livadia, runs The Disco, a speakeasy bar with seventies styling, and its other bars stay open until 01:00; outside visitors are welcome upon request. A rebetiko night and a Beach House DJ set were not on a page opened this pass. 27 28
Street Art
Subtle murals in Chora alleys; focus is more on traditional Cycladic aesthetics
Cooking Classes

Historic Buildings
The Tower house at the center of the Venetian Kastro 1
Local Heritage
Traditional Octopus drying in the sun at the harbor

Nature and Outdoor Activities

Nearby Nature Escapes
Despotiko is the uninhabited islet southwest of Antiparos. Livadia Bay is the sandy north-facing beach below The Rooster. Wikivoyage also names Sostis Bay, Monastiria and Livadi on the south and west coasts. 1 5 17
National Parks Nearby
There is no national park on Antiparos. Paros Park, on Paros, calls itself the Environmental and Cultural Park of Paros, a theme park on a peninsula, open year-round for walks. It is not a national park. A drive time was not taken. 18
Cycling/Walking Paths
Chora is walked. The cave page says the walk from the port to the cave takes about 1.5 hours, and a summer bus also runs. The Rooster counts 13 signposted trails on the island, with Antiparos Hiking Routes maps. A named trail from Chora to Sifneikos Gialos was not on the pages opened. 5 11 29
Scenic Viewpoints
Sunset Beach, on the north-western shore about five minutes on foot from the main street, is the sunset spot Wikivoyage names. Wikipedia lists the same shore as Sifneiko. 5 1
Birdwatching Locations
The salt marshes (Alyki) near the port during migration seasons
Bonfire-Friendly Spots
Greece has a fire ban from 1 May to 31 October that covers campfires, bonfires and barbecues, with penalties, and 112 is the number to call if you see a fire. The camping beach is not a bonfire spot in that season. 4

Business

Studio Purchase Price (City Center)
Spitogatos average asking price for Antiparos in the second quarter of 2026 was 7,600 euro per square metre (Dnews, 20 August 2026), ahead of Mykonos at 7,059 and Paros at 5,263. The figure is not split by bedrooms or by Chora versus the rest of the island. A 40 square metre studio at that rate is about 304,000 euro. 19
Studio Purchase Price (Outside City)
No separate outside-town asking price was published. The second-quarter 2026 Spitogatos average for the whole of Antiparos was 7,600 euro per square metre. A 40 square metre studio at that rate is about 304,000 euro, not the older 4,500 euro figure. 19
1-Bedroom Purchase Price (City Center)
Same second-quarter 2026 Spitogatos average for Antiparos, 7,600 euro per square metre, not split by bedrooms. A 60 square metre flat at that rate is about 456,000 euro. 19
1-Bedroom Purchase Price (Outside City)
No separate outside-town asking price was published. The island average in the second quarter of 2026 was 7,600 euro per square metre. A 60 square metre flat at that rate is about 456,000 euro. 19
2-Bedroom Purchase Price (City Center)
Same second-quarter 2026 Spitogatos average for Antiparos, 7,600 euro per square metre, not split by bedrooms. An 80 square metre flat at that rate is about 608,000 euro. 19
2-Bedroom Purchase Price (Outside City)
No separate outside-town asking price was published. The island average in the second quarter of 2026 was 7,600 euro per square metre. An 80 square metre flat at that rate is about 608,000 euro. 19
Corporate Tax
22% standard corporate rate in Greece 20
Dividend Withholding Tax
5% 21
Tax System
Tax residents are taxed on worldwide income. PwC says residence turns on physical presence in any 12-month period and on the centre of vital interests. The Greece tax profile sets that day-count at more than 183 days. The digital nomad visa does not exempt foreign income. 9 22
Highest Income Tax Bracket
44 percent on employment, pension and business income above 60,000 euro in the 2026 scale. The band from 40,000 to 60,000 euro is 39 percent, not 44 percent. 9
VAT
Standard VAT is 24 percent. Reduced rates are 13 percent (including food, water, catering, hotels and transport) and 6 percent (including medicines, books, electricity and cinema), with 4 percent on some disability works. The 30 percent island cut applies to Leros, Lesvos, Kos, Samos and Chios, and from 1 January 2026 also to North Aegean islands, Samothrace and the Dodecanese with up to 20,000 people. Antiparos, in the Cyclades, is not on that list. 8 23
Controlled Foreign Company (CFC) Rules
Yes. Undistributed income of a foreign entity is attributed when the Greek resident, alone or with affiliates, owns over 50 percent or is entitled to over 50 percent of the profits, the foreign tax is less than half the Greek tax, and more than 30 percent of net income is passive-type. An EU or EEA entity with real staff, equipment, assets and premises can be outside the rules. 24
Property Tax
ENFIA is the annual tax on real rights held on 1 January. For a person it follows location, size, use, age, floor and the number of facades, plus an extra charge only when total property value exceeds 500,000 euro. A flat 3 to 10 euro per square metre was not on the tax page. From 2026 a Greek tax resident can get 50 percent off ENFIA on a main home in a settlement of up to 1,500 people (1,700 in Evros), outside Attica except the Attica islands, if the home is worth at most 400,000 euro. Whether Chora settlement qualifies was not checked on the settlement table. 23
Property Transaction Tax
3% plus 0.09% municipal tax 10
Attractive Tax System for Digital Nomads
The digital nomad visa does not set a special tax rate. Article 5C is a special method for employment and business income earned in Greece when someone transfers tax residence, not an exemption on foreign remote-work pay. Articles 5A and 5B are a high-net-worth lump sum and a pensioner regime. The Greece tax profile says the 5C exemption is 50 percent for seven years and that work for an employer outside Greece does not qualify. 25
