Getting from Thassos to Antiparos

If you are heading to Antiparos from Thassos you are making your way from the northernmost island in Greece to a small island just off the western coast of Paros in the Cyclades, on the opposite side of the country. It has a Venetian kastro village, good beaches and an atmosphere that rewards those who stay overnight rather than visiting on a day trip from Paros.
