The Cycladic island of Antiparos is ten minutes by boat from its big sister Paros but that little bit of separation makes a big difference. Perhaps that’s why Tom Hanks has a house here? The island is famous for its beaches, which have some great swimming spots with crystal-clear waters – Psaralyki is a particular highlight.
