Paxos, seven miles long and three miles wide, may be the smallest of the Ionian Islands but is undoubtedly the most picturesque. Lying just 7 nautical miles off the southern end of Corfu and 12 nautical miles from the mainland casts a spell on you from the very moment you step foot on it. The olive trees and the dark groves of cypresses that cover the island, the beaches, the crystal clear waters are all unique. Paxos is not "built-up". You will not find luxury hotels and posh restaurants. Its charm lies in the small, in formal villages, the friendliness of its people, the unspoilt surroundings, the narrow streets and the small shops. A host of tavernas offer local dishes, including moussaka, pastitsio, souvlaki, sofrito, stuffed tomatoes and peppers, fish of all kinds, lobster and good chilled wine. Just one mile off the southern tip of Paxos lies Antipaxos, a little vineyard island (only 3 square kilometers). The journey from the port of Gaios to Antipaxos by express boat takes about 10 minutes. Its irresistible beaches have the fines san imaginable and the water is un unbelievable brilliant turqoise.
