A modern take on classic Greek summer houses, the two villas that make up Yvoni subtly blend traditional architectural features with 21st-century styling to create a harmonious, uplifting ambience for large groups of family or friends. Well-shaded terraces offer everything required for carefree outdoor living, and a gate at the bottom of the garden entices guests to stroll down to the pebbly-sandy beaches that run along the coast of Soros.

The Area
Yvoni is located in the southeast of Antiparos, just a stroll from the sandy beaches of Soros. The island’s diminutive size means that you’re never far from its treasures, both natural and man-made, and it’s easy to explore in a week.
With 60km of coastline, Antiparos offers an abundance of idyllic beaches and many of these are very close to Yvoni. Apart from Soros below the house, two of the most beguiling beaches are Agios Sostis and Faneromeni, little bays on the southernmost tip of the island. Slightly further afield, in the southwest, is the bay of Agios Georgios, whose turquoise waters are a great starting point for kayaking excursions to the little islet of Despotiko.
Typical of the Cyclades, the landscape of Antiparos is dotted with small whitewashed churches and traditional cottages, and carpeted with aromatic Mediterranean shrubs and wild herbs. The south of the island is hilly and there is some rewarding walking to be had, thanks to the wonderful 360-degree panoramas from vantage points such as the Prophet Elias church.
The main town, Antiparos Port, is archetypally Greek, with narrow pedestrianised alleyways and picturesque squares flanked by independent little shops and pretty white houses with blossom-filled courtyards. At its centre are the remains of the Kastro, a Venetian castle built in 1440 to protect the island’s inhabitants from pirates and other would-be invaders. Around the harbour is a good selection of traditional tavernas and cafés, and it is very pleasant to while away a little time there, watching island life unfold. In the evening, the main square comes alive as traditional coffee shops and chic bars fill up.
Just in the hills behind Yvoni is the island’s fascinating cave, whose extremely impressive stalactites and stalagmites are thought to be amongst the oldest in Europe. With a depth of around 85m (there are 411 steps down to the bottom), it is an inspiring place to explore, especially if you think of all those who have been there before you, including Macedonian generals fleeing the wrath of Alexander the Great, Otto, the first King of Greece, and even (so it is said) Lord Byron.
Last but not least, Paros is just a 10-minute ferry ride from Antiparos Port, meaning that island-hopping day trips there are eminently feasible.

DiscoverBoat Rental in Paros
A holiday in the sun would not be complete without exploring the breathtaking coastline of Paros and Antiparos: majestic cliffs and glistening azure sea await you. The best way to experience this spectacle is from your very own rental boat, pottering along at a leisurely pace and occasionally stopping off to drop anchor and swim in secluded bays.

What stood out about Yvoni was its location and the direct access to the beach.
Anonymous August 2024
Yvoni, Antiparos, the views and the location were simply magnificent. Our guests were all raving about it from the beginning to the end and are still raving about it. Having rented villas in Greece, Italy and France over the years, Yvoni was the most overall outstanding villa we have experienced and we look forward to renting a future villa with The Thinking Traveller. . Excellent service is indeed the hallmark of a great company. Many thanks for an incredibly beautiful all-around experience and for making our our 50th anniversary trip so memorable.

The setting of Yvoni was incredible. The way it was finished and maintained too. The outside amenities felt like we were at a resort, not just a home. The service of the staff was so accommodating and attentive. Our experience was perfection. Literally. Everything was incredible. The island, the location, Yvoni and the service. Can't say enough good things about it. Would we return? Absolutely. In fact, we're looking to see if Yvoni will be available next summer...it was perfect!

Our family of 8 adults (4 couples) loved staying at Yvoni in the beginning of September. We were celebrating our twins' 30th birthdays, which was very special. The outdoor pools, jacuzzi and shared spaces are spectacular.

Yvoni surpassed our expectations. The housekeeper was on top of everything. She made our trip so memorable. I never received such amazing service and attention like this before. The people is what made Antiparos so special. And besides that, with all my experience with other islands, we felt the food was amazing and delicious. So refined and fresh. We were blown away.
