Antipsara

Antipsara (Greek: Αντίψαρα) is a small Greek island in the Aegean Sea. Antipsara had no permanent inhabitants, according to the 2021 census. It lies about 3 km (2 mi) west of the larger Psara island, from which its name is derived. Geographic conditions make it inaccessible from the north and west s

ides. Evidence exists of settlement in ancient Greek and Roman times. During Ottoman rule the island served as a port. Nowadays, tourist trips to the island originate from Psara in the summer months. The small church of St John (Άγιος Ιωάννης) on the eastern side is visited in August by pilgrims.
