Fanari Beach

I wish I'd had more time here, since my stay in AntiParos was so short. It's right on the beach, with a bar/restaurant close by, and I would've happily spent a whole day. I wasn't swimming or spending much time in the sun, so we sat by the bar. I ordered water and fruit, they brought ice, and my friend really liked her Americano. The fruit plate was full of fresh, delicious fruit. House music is my favorite, so hearing it in that beautiful setting made the afternoon even better. Johannis, I hope I spelled his name right, went out of his way to make sure my friend and I enjoyed our short visit. The location and the service both stood out. I definitely plan to return.

The design is special and the setting looks beautiful, but we left very disappointed after a day trip from Paros. We had heard Fanari beach and its club were among the best in Antiparos, so we were surprised by what we found. Behind the beach was a large grey, green, and reddish pond covered in what looked like mold. As we got closer, the smell was awful, and my husband found it unbearable on the beach. The club area was a little secluded, so the smell was harder to notice there. I don't understand why the beach bar's owners or management don't try filling the stinky pond with gravel. Leaving it there could hurt their reputation, especially when the surroundings are so noticeable and smelly. The rope-net parasols and canopies offered no protection from harmful sunrays, which made renting one feel pointless. The trees look nice, but there are only a few, and they're small and quite see-through. We stayed about an hour; I went for a swim, but my husband didn't want to try. The music was very chill and the service was good. The beach looks lovely, though swimming means getting past a slippery rock shelf under the water before reaching the sandy bottom.

The restaurant is stylish, the seafood focused food was excellent, and the staff were warm and attentive. There's also a nice pool if that's your preference, though the beach is so inviting for a refreshing swim. For us, this is our favourite beach club in Andiparos, with great facilities, sunbeds, and lovely beach trees that give some shade.

The staff are so kind and friendly, and made us feel right at home. We had fresh, delicious food full of flavor, and the beach is gorgeous, with crystal-clear water and trees giving natural shade almost to the shoreline. The beach bar is beautiful too. A lovely place to relax, eat well, and enjoy the island. Highly recommend! 🌿☀️🌊
