Despotiko, or Episkopi, is not the sole island in the Antiparos cluster to be of great archaeological interest; next to Despotiko are Tsimintiri and Stroggylo, while to the north of the isthmus separating Paros and Antiparos is the islet of Saliagos, where the oldest settlement in the Cyclades has been unearthed.
Despotiko has been identified with ancient Presepinthos, according to the information provided by the Ancient Greek historian and geographer Strabo, and by Pliny the Elder, the Roman historiographer and philosopher.
