Winding evenings down to dusk, a canopy of sunset shades fade into the night sky, setting the scene for cocktails in good company. Savouring the splendour of such a view over the bay, the open-air bar is the place for pre-dinner drinks before dining under the stars. As darkness falls, follow the soft garland lighting to the secret garden; a traditional courtyard where farm-to-table cuisine is the focus.
Proud of its place in the world, The Rooster makes the most of its farmland, much to a foodie’s delight. A nurturing nature runs from crop to kitchen, where homegrown fruits and vegetables are handpicked daily. Creatively combined with ingredients sourced from Cycladic artisans and fishermen, delectable dishes reach your plate, with vegetarian and vegan variations a particular stand out. Welcomed at every stage, green-fingered guests may meet the farmer amid wildflowers and foliage. Budding chefs relish cookery classes, feeding mind, body and soul.
Turn away from the tourist crowds on a path to pure placidity. Welcomed under The Rooster’s wing, step back to basics and switch off in understated surroundings.
Escaping to Antiparos is prioritising inner peace; becoming in tune with the natural world and reaping its rewards. An oasis of authenticity, for more than just the self, wander the nearby streets of Chora. Take in traditional Greek culture while meandering through seafront shops and restaurants.
The place to be for escapism if ever there was one, find repose in the tranquillity of natural surroundings.

Distraction-free, quality time reigns king of an untouched land. Here, a less is more ethos puts family and friends at the forefront.
Leaning into the slow life rarely goes hand in hand with a longing to leave. Guests here… simply don’t; preferring to seek out the serenity of the spa. Or, spend long hours lounging on an unspoilt sandy beach, paired with a picnic to nourish the art of relaxation. Though, those who crave exploration won’t have to look far. Hiking trails are plenty, to bask in the beauty of Antiparos from all angles.
Setting the scene for a day to remember, The Rooster’s charming farmhouse cottage sits back from the main hotel. The picturesque privacy encapsulated here perfectly befits a wedding venue. Amid the source of pride for their farm-to-fork cuisine, here is a hub for group getaways. Partake in cooking classes, wine tastings and private dinners sheltered in the shade of the outdoor terrace.
