Perhaps the big cave on Antíparos is considered to be the great attraction on the island. I'm probably not the right person to tell, since I never got inside the cave, even if I tried.
I was a little bit to early one morning (I'm the kind of guy who like to take advantage of the time I'm in Greece, so I don't sleep late in the mornings). Probably you can find more stalactites in St. Petersburg, Russia then in the cave itself, as the cave have been robbed during the centuries, not only by Russian officers around the year of 1770, but by others as well.
I still think that the beaches are the best assets of the island. If you prefer to mingle with lots of people you select a beach close to Antíparos town. But if you prefer seclusion and stillness you go south to Syros or Ágios Giórgios.
If you enjoy good beaches you should go to Despotiko Island, mentioned above. Captain Pipinos at the tavern with the same name will take you there. Be prepared with water and food though; you won't get any on the island. You may be the only person on the island the day you are there!
A pleasant event take places June 23 every year. Children take their 1st of May garland, which now is dry. They put them together in a stack and then put it all in fire (see photo). Then they should jump quickly over the fire. This takes place by the harbor. I don't know if this only occur on Antíparos; I haven't seen it elsewhere.
