Welcome to Paxos

At only six miles long, the slight finger of Paxos occupies a special place in the Ionian archepelego. Everywhere on Paxos is within an arm's reach, woven together by a patchwork of ancient stony paths and swerving bus rides.

Beneath a canopy of shimmering olives, the people of Paxos live in a handful of picturesque villages. From the harbour of Lakka in the north of Paxos, where flotillas of yachts hang suspended over an ink-stained sea, through picture postcard Loggos and bustling Gaios in the south, Paxos is a rich treat for all the senses.
