The island of Antiparos

Our island hopping has continued with a trip to Antiparos, which means “opposite Paros”. We hired a little dinghy from Aliki in Paros and set off across the sea. Keyala can not shake her sore throat so she had a day resting in the hotel.

Our first stop was in between two islands in a swimming spot called the blue lagoon with turquoise waters. From there we headed to Antiparos and explored some caves along the shoreline.

We stopped for lunch at a little seafood taverna. There was no place to dock the boat so Dale dropped us to shore, left the boat on a mooring and had to swim back in. He was in need of a good drink after the experience and so we had a couple of cocktails by the seaside.

A bit more cave swimming and it was time to head back. Unfortunately the meltemi winds had picked up by then and the trip across the sea to Paros was a bit bumpy. We made it back with a layer of saltiness all over us and smiles on our faces.
