ANΤίBLOG

Hello! My name is Ornit Kravitz, and I am the owner of KAMEO. I chose Antiparos of all islands, just a few minutes upon arrival to it for the first time in my life. I set foot on it and I knew it was the one. Why? That is exactly what this blog is about – to try and explain what it is about Antiparos that makes total foreigners like me react so strongly to it.I invite you to take this journey with me so we can unfold the magic together…Read more

When I first heard the name “Antiparos” in August 2021, it was while I was looking for a location for my hotel. My first thought was that it may be bad karma to name a new business “anti–something”.
When I heard about “Clean Monday” that represent “cleanse” both physically and spiritually, first thing that came to my mind was the Jewish Yom Kippur. So being a serious PhD scholar I immediately started investigating. And stopped after about 2 seconds to simply ask chat GPT (smarter than me anyway) – is there a connection between the two holidays?
While I wrote my PhD in media studies, I needed to take some society and media courses. One of my professors always claimed that if you take a subjuct and cover the way its portrayed along time you can understand the evolution of the society.
Two weeks ago, there was real excitement in Agios Georgios (well, I admit—it was mainly my own). Rumour has it that Netflix is on the island filming a new movie. Though I tried, I couldn’t get much info except that it is a documentary about a love story.
While driving towards Agios Georgios an amazing site is revealed: With the beautiful bay of Agios Georgios and Despotiko right across, the Island of Tsimintiri in between and Serifos and Sifnos far behind, with many little boats and amazing yachts in the middle of all this - it is truly magic.
