The Area
Antika is located on the east coast of Panarea, midway between San Pietro, the main village, and the beach of Cala Zimmari.
San Pietro, with its restaurants, shops, cafés and port, is around 15 minutes walk from the villa (or 3 minutes' drive), while the village of Drauto, which has a restaurant, is about 5 minutes away on foot. While there are no cars allowed on Panarea, electric taxis and golf buggies are available for all journeys around the island.
The aforementioned Cala Zimmari is a 10-minute walk away, and if you continue for another 10 minutes you'll come to the southern tip of the island, Punta Milazzese, a promontory that's home to the remains of a Bronze Age village. Down below is Cala Junco, a pebbly inlet with crystalline transparent waters, and a couple of other lovely coves.
If you wish to go for a good hike (and we recommend you do), a path from the southern edge of San Pietro leads up to Panarea's highest peak, Punta del Corvo, which, at 421m, offers sublime views across the archipelago and the Tyrrhenian. From there you can either head north or south and complete a very satisfying circuit with a refreshing swim in the sea.
Panarea is the second smallest and the most fashionable of Aeolian Islands, and it is an ideal point from which to discover the entire archipelago, be it by boat, hydrofoil or helicopter.
In the summer months Panarea offers a wide selection of good restaurants, bars with stunning terraces, discos and chic boutiques. Diving, walking and fishing are amongst the most popular pursuits.
Regular hydrofoil and ferry services link Panarea to Palermo, Milazzo and Naples, but the most exciting and speediest way to reach the island is by helicopter.
