General: Charming green nature

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:45 GMT

Paxi is a natural paradise. What more can a man want for summer holidays? It is a wonderful island to discover with pebbled beaches and lovely trails to walk. You are given the chance to explore the secret coves of Paxi, the paths with the olive groves and the paved alleys. Paxi is great to explore this blue treasure and a...

General: Unforgettable water

I was lucky enough to travel to Greece and spend my vacation in the wonderful green islands of Paxi and Antipaxi. I stayed at a friend's house in Gaios, the biggest village of Paxi. I had only a week to spend there and my only wish was to see the astonishing beaches that my friend was talking about all these years. We star...

General: Very peaceful

I've been to Paxos twice and I can tell you it's amazing! I've been to lots of Greek islands and this is one of the best. It is just so peaceful, very hot and sunny and great restaurants with delicious Greek salads. The seas are clear and the beaches are clean. There are olive groves and hidden beaches and boat trips out, ...

General: Go back every summer

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:45 GMT

We are seasoned visitors to Paxos and go there every year for the last 5 summers. For us, Paxos is the answer to a perfect vacation. A small island of just 19 sq km, its verdant, hilly and unspoilt landscape is a welcome change from some of the other Greek islands where the ravages of package tourism are quite evident. We ...

General: Amazing colours of the beaches

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:45 GMT

It is a pity I didn't know earlier about Paxi. This is a small island only an hour away from Corfu and it impresses you with its colours. Everything is green and blue and you see so many yachts that I doubt if I have seen more even in the busiest Greek islands. The villages of Paxi look much alike and they ressemble a lot ...

General: Excellent value for money

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:45 GMT

Sue and I have just returned from Paxos. We enjoyed the island and the people just as much this year as last. The accommodation, pool & car were 1st rate. Prices seem to have risen quite a bit since last year, but all things considered it's still excellent value for money, look forward to returning again, hopefully later this year.

General: Crystal water like mirror

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:45 GMT

This is one of the purest regions in Greece! You will love the cozy beaches, the crystal water and the green landscape around of Paxi. Villages are nice but look a lot to each other. I didn't find many differences between Gaios and Lakka. But the beaches are awesome! So clean like mirror! Great beaches are also in Antipaxi, which is a small islet close to Paxi. You go to Antipaxi by boat from ...

General: Romantic beaches

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:45 GMT

When I think of Paxi, I have in mind the tiny and gorgeous beaches around the island. I especially remember our trip to Antipaxoi island (there are frequent boats to Antipaxoi from Gaios), I think Voutoumi is of the best beaches in Ionian (along with Kathisma and Porto Katsiki beaches on Lefkada). Apart from the beaches, the rest of Paxi is a beautiful island, mostly Gaios, which is the capital...

General: Calm and traditional

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:45 GMT

The island is beautiful, calm and traditional. Nightlife is very quite and beaches are quite good, but not as good as in Antipaxi or Corfu. The best beach for me was the first beach on the left on the way from Loggos to Gaios. What you will not miss in Paxi is Greek food, which is always excellent! The island is great but only for a few days to relax. Then go to Corfu to find adorable beaches a...

General: Good for a weekend

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:45 GMT

We got the best impressions from Paxi. It is a tiny island and you generally do not need a car to go all around it, except if you want to rent a motorbike. You can do most tranfer either by taxi (distances can get no bigger than 10 km, so taxi fares are low) or by boat to go to beaches. Do not spend all of your holiday there, since in 3 or 4 days you will have seen what you have to see. For me,...

General: Paxi

Well worth spending a holiday here. Only sandy beach is a man-made one in the south, except if you hire a little boat and go around the island where you can find many little coves to explore. The island is non-touristy and suitable for those who don't want a wild night life - just sitting in a taverna/restaurant, watching the world go by, whilst enjoying wonderful food. It is expensive, in c...

General: Just lovely

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:45 GMT

We went to Paxi last summer by hydrofoil from Corfu. We spend just a weekend there, but it was enough to see what there was to see. The island was lovely. Small beaches, picturesque sceneries, nice waterfronts to stroll around. For me, the best beaches are in Antipaxos. To go there, you can take the boat from Gaios. The only thing to mention was that although Paxi is tiny in size, I found it ra...
