With me today is Athanasia Comninos, founder of The Rooster, a beautiful curated resort with 17 individual homes in Antiparos. In our chat, she’ll be telling us about why she first came to Antiparos, what inspired her to open The Rooster, as well as other Antiparos tips and recommendations, including a legendary retro nightclub that you can’t leave the island without visiting.
If you aren’t familiar with Antiparos, it’s becoming quite a magnet for low-key names: Mark Ronson, Ryan Gosling, Matthew McConaughey all have been spotted here, and Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson own a home here. It’s an island that really seems to have something for everyone.
For more information on The Rooster visit their Instagram and website.
“When I talked about having a farm, it was very hard to explain what it was when building it. It took me a lot…I had so many obstacles to explain that this is going to work.”

Fly direct from London to either Mykonos or Athens, then take a ferry to Paros. From there you take a short ferry – either a seven-minute car ferry from Pounta or a smaller 30-minute passenger-only ferry from Parikia to Antiparos.
