Region
A little off the beaten track compared to other islands in the mesmerising Ionian, the small island of Paxos is often considered to be one of Greece’s best kept secrets.
That said, more and more visitors are discovering the beauty of Paxos with its verdant scenery juxtaposing white-pebbled bays and crystal-clear sea. The island is reached via private sea taxi, ferry or hydrofoil from Corfu or take the car-ferry from Igoumenitsa on the Greek mainland.
The gateway to the island is Gaios, the main port and capital of Paxos. Stroll by the picturesque harbourfront, admire the island’s Venetian architecture and stop off for a drink in a bar overlooking the glistening water. Take time explore Gaios’ winding lanes and soak up the town’s rich heritage before dining out in a taverna serving traditional Ionian dishes such as sofrito, pastitsada and bourdeto fish stew, perhaps accompanied by wine from the vineyards of neighbouring Antipaxos.
To the north-east of the island, Loggos is a very pretty village with pastel coloured houses and waterfront tavernas, close to a handful of gorgeous beaches. Lakka is equally as magical with its natural harbour, backed by ancient olive groves and cypress trees, loved especially by windsurfers and boating enthusiasts. A 7km-long hiking path connects the two fishing villages with the most spectacular views of the Ionian sea.
For a superb day out, a water taxi or boat excursion will whisk you away to the tiny island of Antipaxos for idyllic coves and snorkelling opportunities thanks to amazing visibility in the azure-coloured sea. Vrika Beach and Voutoumi Beach are two of the Ionian’s most iconic bays with sandy shores (and a wonderful beachside taverna at Vrika Beach).
Back to Paxos, the western side of the island is more rugged with steep cliffs and fascinating sea caves, best explored by sailing, kayaking or hiking. Indeed, in the late spring and early autumn months, the island is a paradise for keen walkers who can follow beautiful trails through century-old olive groves, truly embracing the authenticity and incredible vistas of this magnificent Greek island.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Panagia lies in the heart of Gaios on the enchanting Greek island of Paxos, offering a haven for families with an array of kid-friendly activities. The nearest beach is a short three-hundred-metre walk from the villa, and the private pool and secure gardens are the perfect place for them to play all day.
Venture to Mongonissi Beach, where the shallow, tranquil waters is a haven for little ones to splash and play. Nearby, Kaki Langada Beach beckons with its family-friendly ambience, providing a serene setting for relaxation and seaside enjoyment. Discover the serene beauty of Monodendri Beach, offering a peaceful retreat with pebble shores and turquoise sea. Embark on a captivating boat trip to Anti Paxos, where the family can revel in the beauty of pristine beaches and swim and snorkel in crystal-clear water.
Gaios Village Square, surrounded by traditional tavernas, exudes a welcoming charm, offering a delightful space for families to dine and soak in the local atmosphere. Unveil the historical tapestry of Paxos at the Venetian Fortress of Agia Paraskevi, and set sail to explore the natural wonders of the Cave of Ipapanti.
Take a stroll through the idyllic Loggos Village, with its quaint harbour and waterfront tavernas, providing a perfect setting for family walks and delightful meals. Immerse yourselves in the island's rich heritage at the Olive Press Museum in Lakka and visit the historic Ypapanti Church with its unique architecture.
