Antiparos is a small Cycladic island situated to the west of Paros, separated by a wide channel of 500 meters to 1,000 meters. Its unique village of sparkling white, its small port lined with restaurants, and its many beaches make its charm. The cave is the main center of tourist interest of the island.

The Marquis de Nointel, ambassador of Louis XIV in Constantinople, for a long time forgotten, made it famous in 1673. He decided to have the Christmas Mass celebrated by installing an altar on one of the most impressive stalagmites, practically 90 m underground.

He engraved his name and date to commemorate the event. It was south of Antiparos, on and around the islet of Despotiko, that Theodore Bent discovered the first known and proven traces of the Neolithic Cycladic civilization.
