Antipsara

Antipsara is a small uninhabited island in the North Aegean Sea. The island lies about 1.3 nautical miles west of the larger island of Psara and is inaccessible from the north and west. Although according to the 2021 census the island has no permanent inhabitants, there is evidence of the existence of a settlement in ancient Greek and Roman times, while Antipsara was used as naval base during the Turkish occupation. Today, the island is home to hares, wild rabbits and to herds of sheep and goats. Sea turtles, seals and sea gulls find refuge on the rocky shores around the island. Antipsara is surrounded by the rocky islands of Kato Nisi, Mesiako and Skonio.

This little island is well known for its amazing beaches and clean waters. The crystal-clear waters surrounding the island invite visitors to take a refreshing dip or snorkel to discover the vibrant maritime life.
