Port Overview
Antiparos Port (GRANP) is a strategic maritime facility located in the Cyclades region of Greece, positioned on the small island of Antiparos in the Aegean Sea. While relatively modest in scale, the port serves as an important local maritime infrastructure supporting the island’s maritime connectivity and regional transportation needs. Situated at 37.0412°N, 25.0861°E, this port plays a crucial role in supporting local maritime activities, tourism, and inter-island transportation in the complex Greek island archipelago.
Geographic Location & Access
The port of Antiparos is strategically positioned in the central Cyclades, offering unique geographical advantages for maritime operations. With coordinates precisely located at 37.0412°N, 25.0861°E, the port benefits from a sheltered position within the Aegean maritime environment. The approach channels are characterized by moderate complexity, requiring careful navigation through the island’s coastal waters. Local maritime conditions are typically influenced by the Aegean’s characteristic wind patterns, with seasonal variations that impact navigation and port operations.
