ANTIPAROS CHECK IN
ΤΗΕ CAVE
It is considered as one of the most beautiful and impressive caves in the world. The Cave of
Antiparos, the top sight of the island, attracts a significant archaeological interest due to the
important findings from the Stone Age that were discovered in its inner part. It is located 8
km from Antiparos Chora and is the only vertical cave in Europe and more than 85 meters
deep. Also known as “Katafigi” or “Cave of St. John”, it hosts amazing stalactites and sta-
lagmites (there you will find the older stalactite in Europe, about 45 million years old!). You
also will be impressed by the inscriptions on the walls of the cave, dating from the neolithic
area. Among its famous visitors have been Alexander the Great, King Otto, etc. The cave was
under reconstruction in 2009, when a stairway of 411 stairs was created.
Info: Open April-October, from 10:00-16:00. Entrance fee: 6€ (reduced 3€)
