Antiparos Island - way out there in Greece










O.K. dudes. This is getting way out in to the islands. We rented a four wheeler in Paros and took a ferry over to Antiparos.

We sat around in some cafe watching old Greek guys playing cards in the afternoon. Watch for my upcoming short novel: Breath In the Afternoon.

On Antiparos there are a few American movie stars (can't be bothered to discover which ones...who in their right mind really cares) and lots of good beaches.

The main town of Antiparos is really something to see. A strip of funky hotels...and then another, A camp ground - which I always find so weird in Europe, as you're always like 12 feet from the nearest municipal road or town.

Also - there is a deep cave on Antiparos. It is built up as a toursit attraction, but it's still really cool to see. There are (give or take) 340 stairs down to the bottom...and lots of really old graffiti. There is supposed to be the signature on the walls from one of Greece's poets going back to the time of Christ, give or take. I think he was from Paros. I wasn't able to find the signature, but what a cool story.
