Harbour and bay of Ant\u00edparos, from SE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

The name of the island during antiquity was \u201cOliar\u00f3s\u201d<\/strong>, which means forested mountain. Historians believe, based on its name, that the island was part of P\u00e1ros. Probably, due to geographical turbulences of the past, one part of the island sank and Ant\u00edparos was created.<\/p>\n\n

The first installment<\/strong> on the island is estimated to have occurred in 4500 BC by Cyclad\u00edtes. On the small islet of S\u00e1lago, the earliest to date Cycladic settlement has been found.<\/p>\n\n

The first official mention of the island with today\u2019s name of Ant\u00edparos<\/strong>, has been found in the 13th century AD. <\/p>\n\n

During the Byzantine years and up until the Fall of Constantinople<\/strong> in 1453 AD, Ant\u00edparos suffered from piratic raids, a fact that did not change much after the beginning of the Turkish rule, as the Turks used the pirates in order to weaken the population and keep it from rebelling.<\/p>\n\n

One of the most famous sightseeing of the island is the cave of Ant\u00edparos<\/strong>, which is considered among the most important in the world. There is a small chapel in its entrance, dedicated to \u00c1gio Ge\u00f3rgio (Saint George). The cave starts by descending for 70m and then there is an opening 45 x 35m and 25m height. It is situated 7 km south of Ant\u00edparos (village).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
