Gaios
The island’s main harbour
A quiet fishing port in winter, Gaios becomes a lively and elegant harbour in summer. Yachts line the inlet, restaurants gather along the waterfront, and boats leave for Antipaxos and its white-sand beaches.
Discover Paxos, Greece — an island best explored slowly
Discover Paxos
An island paradise in the Ionian Sea
Paxos — not to be confused with Paros — is a small island paradise. Made famous by the Netflix series Maestro in Blue, its charming villages, sheltered harbours and exceptional beaches make it an ideal holiday destination.
Cliffs define the west coast, while the east coast is dotted with coves and small beaches.
Loggos
A village with maritime charm
Loggos sits at the heart of a tiny bay with an intimate seafaring atmosphere. Fish restaurants edge the narrow quayside, where the pace of island life seems to slow down.
Lakka
A beautiful sheltered bay
At the northern tip of Paxos, Lakka opens onto a spectacular bay filled with sailing boats. The village offers shops, bars and restaurants, as well as boat trips towards the caves of the west coast.
The Paxos Insider
What to see and do in Paxos?
Paxos rewards curiosity: a path through the olive groves, a cove reached on foot, a long lunch near the water or a day exploring the coast by boat.
The entire west coast is bordered by cliffs. Cliff-top walks can be found in both the northern and southern parts of the island.
The east coast is made up of beaches and coves, accessible by boat, on foot or, in some cases, by car.
