Location
About the surrounding area of Villa KaranVilla Karan is delightfully situated on a small estate of five luxury villas, in the beautiful scenic area of Magganies, on the east coast of the island of Antiparos, set in the Aegean Sea. The villa is just seven kilometres south of the island’s main port, a short ten-minute drive to your holiday destination. Catch a plane to the island of neighbouring Paros, then take a ferry from the port of Pounda to Antiparos. Or fly to Athens, and arrive by boat or even a helicopter, which is only a forty-five minute ride away.
The island of Antiparos lies in the heart of the Cyclades, populated with traditional whitewashed houses in a Mediterranean landscape of orthodox churches and ancient ruins, a backdrop of hills and mountains, and an unforgettable Aegean seascape. The island of Antiparos is eleven kilometres long, by four and a half kilometres wide, so wherever you want to get to is just a short drive away. The nearest beach is on your doorstep, with two cove-like beaches on either side of the villa complex. The fifty-seven kilometre-long coastline has a plethora of beautiful beaches, and you will be spoilt for choice during your stay. The most popular beaches are Agios Georgios, Soros, and Kampos, with their easy entry to shallow crystal clear waters, sun loungers and shady parasols, and local tavernas for a tasty lunch of homemade meze. The main town of Antiparos is a few kilometres north of the villa, with the original fortifications of a fifteenth-century Venetian castle and the adjacent cathedral as its main attraction.
The winding colourful streets of the Chora with blossoming bougainvillaea, are home to souvenir shops full of local and handcrafted goods you’ll want to take home with you. Shop for ceramics and pottery, lovely leather goods, handmade gold and silver jewellery, and homemade honey and olives. Dine in family-run restaurants on the island’s delicacies, such as rabbit, zucchini, fish, and octopus. Take a day trip from the harbour aboard an island hopping ferry, or a caique that can take you to hidden coves and secret bays for swimming, snorkelling, and sunbathing. Get active, hike across the island to discover the local flora and fauna, scuba dive to discover wrecks and reefs, and test your balancing skills in wind and kite surfing across the sea. Make sure you make a visit to the famous Neolithic Cave of Antiparos, with its display of stalagmite and stalactite formations, and the adjacent Greek Orthodox Church of Agios Ioannis Spiliotis, with an altar from the times of Alexander. All aboard the local ferry to Despotiko, a small uninhabited island, with long sandy beaches, and ancient relics of a Doric temple dating from five hundred BC, with a set of sculptures, considered to be of great archaeological significance.
Enjoy a day trip to the neighbouring island of Paros, take the ferry to Pounda to see the town of Parikia with its Byzantine church and Frankish castle, visit the Archeological Museum, bathe on its beaches, and then wander the colourful cobbled streets full of enticing shops and traditional tavernas, where you can sip on ouzo and watch the world go by. If you are lucky, you may be staying there during one of the summer festivals, where there are yachting races, sporting events, outdoor concerts, dancing, and of course lots of eating and drinking.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesYour kids will love a holiday on the island of Antiparos, where there are lots to see and do to keep them occupied all day long. Villa Karan has a fabulous easy Roman-style step-entry swimming pool, and as there are no set hours, they can play and splash all day. The villa has smart flat-screen televisions in all the bedrooms, and a DVD and CD player, where they can watch their favourite programmes in the cooler evenings. The villa complex has a shared tennis and basketball court, where they can practice on their forehand and shoot a few hoops. Best of all there is access to two private sandy and pebbly beaches, with easy entry to the calm waters of the azure Aegean Sea.
The coastline of Antiparos is populated with lots of family-friendly beaches, some with organised sun loungers and shady brollies, crystal clear waters for snorkelling and swimming, and local cafes and bars for refreshments throughout the day. Particularly recommended for children are Camping and Theologos beaches noted for their shallow waters, lagoon-like sea, shady trees, and lack of wind. The shallowest beach is at Agios Spiridonas, also called Baby or Village beach. Other beaches that are also good for families are Psarailyki A and B, Panagia, and Glyfa, which are near local villages for their facilities and amenities. Children love a day in the old town or Chora, exploring the maze of streets, discovering the ancient fortifications of the Kastro or castle, and eating ice cream and traditional Greek desserts in the square.
Don’t miss a day out to the volcanic Cave of Antiparos, take the four hundred and eleven steps down to the forty-five million-year-old cavern, with its colourful stalagmites and stalactites. All aboard the ferry to take a trip across the water to the uninhabited island of Despotiko, with its beautiful sandy beaches, and ancient ruins for your young historians. For your more active kids, there are hiking trails across the island to discover the local flora and fauna, bike rides to traditional villages, kite and windsurfing on the Aegean Sea, and snorkelling and swimming closer to shore. No holiday to the island is complete without a family day at sea, join a group or charter your own yacht with a captain, where you can swim, snorkel, and sunbathe, dine aboard, then sail home at sunset. Nip to the neighbouring island of Paros, where there is some fun in the sun kid’s activities, including an extensive Aquapark with slides and pools for children of all ages, a hands-on petting farm, the beautiful butterfly valley, and an exhilarating rib ride.
