Nestled 14 kilometers south of Corfu and 20 kilometers west of mainland Parga, Paxos spans approximately 19 square kilometers within the stunning Ionian Sea. This enchanting island cluster has preserved its authentic character by remaining accessible only by ferry, protecting it from mass tourism's effects.
The island's landscape is defined by sprawling olive groves, while neighboring Antipaxos features extensive vineyards. The eastern shores offer gentle, welcoming coastlines, contrasting dramatically with the western cliffs that showcase spectacular caves, natural arches, and dramatic rock formations.
Gaios, the island's capital, is a charming harbor village sheltered by the small islands of Agios Nikolas and Panagia. The northern village of Paxos Guide and the eastern settlement of Loggos each offer their own distinctive appeal. The rhythm of life here remains wonderfully unhurried, with genuine Greek hospitality defining the experience. Approximately 2,300 residents call Paxos home year-round.
