Paxos and Antipaxos     

 

  Paxos and Antipaxos are situated in the north-west of Greece 14 kilometres south of Corfu, 20 kilometres to the east is Parga on the mainland of Greece. Paxos covers an area of some 19 square kilometres and is one of a cluster of picturesque small islands set in the Ionian Sea (Lat: 38.97, Lon: 23.15). Paxos has no airport and can only be reached by boat from Corfu, Parga, Igoumenitsa, Brindisi & Ancona... 

Is there more to Paxos than the sunny beaches with the turquoise waters, the wonderful sunsets and the olive orchards? Well, the short answer is yes...

The beaches (spiantzes) are mostly small ones, pebbled, with crystal clear waters. The most significant ones are Giannas, Soulanenas (in Paxos Beach Hotel), Balou, Agia Marinas, Moggonissi, Kloni Gouli, Kamini, Kaki Lagkada, Alati, Kipiadi, Marmaria, Levrehio, Glyfada, Monodentri, Arkoudaki, Orkos, Kanoni, Harami (sandy beach), Ahai, Avlaki, Galazio.

Make a tour of the island (on speedboats or other boats you can take from any port or even by hiring one), to enjoy the beaches as well as the beautiful, natural morphological formations in the western coasts (Graves, Trypitos, Ortholithos, Ahai etc.).

Last but not least do not forget to visit the turquoise sandy beaches of Vrika and Voutoumi (both have tavernas), either with speedboats from the ports or with fishing-boats or rowboats. Be aware though that during high season these two beaches are extremely crowded with trendy Italians!
