Any visitors to the off-grid Cycladic island of Antiparos last year may have discovered Bardot – a beautifully restored and realised bar and restaurant in the former home of a local shipbuilding family. Architects Andreas Kostopoulos and James McNally of Manhattan Projects worked with restaurateurs Thanasis Panourgias and Harry Spyrou to bring a breezy world of old charm and new spirit to life in cocktails, small plates, creative direction and atmosphere. We tend to think of Cycladic culture in the distant past – here it is laid bare in modern glory.
