The Cave of Antiparos reveals a world of awe-inspiring stalactites and stalagmites. This fascinating natural monument, adorned with ancient inscriptions, is a captivating journey into the island’s geological wonders.
It is not only a natural wonder but also a historic treasure. Legends say that figures such as Alexander the Great and King Otto of Greece once visited its depths. Look closely, and you’ll spot inscriptions from as far back as the 4th century BC, left by travellers and royalty alike. With chambers reaching 85 meters below the surface, the cave is home to the oldest stalactite in Europe, estimated at 45 million years old.
