Luxury dog-friendly hotels in Antiparos, Greece

Mykonos and Santorini may be the Cyclades’ big draws, but if you’re looking to escape it all and embrace the peaceful, more organic side of island life, then consider Antiparos. This small patch of paradise has uncrowded golden beaches, aquamarine coves and mystical caves encrusted with sparkling stalactites and stalagmites. Its verdant hinterland is all set for picturesque hikes and in town (Chora, the islet’s biggest settlement), you’ll find a medieval castle and a smattering of upmarket shops and eateries, although you’ll find fine fish dishes wherever the edges get sandy. It’s a place for re-energising and clearing your mind – we’d recommend booking a break there before it hits the big time.
