This islandic duo with the less is more attitude, namely Paxos and Antipaxos, has always been favored by sailing aficionados. Petites as they might be, Paxoi are steeped in ancient myths about Poseidon who created them with the power of his trident to isolate his beloved Amphitrite. Gaios harbor, the capital of the island is a traditional settlement brimming with that Ionian allure and Venetian heritage. Locals chat with the typical Ionian accent and island life is in full display, making it the perfect place for afternoon walks and sundowners. If you are up for some exploring head to Cape of Erimitis, one of the island’s most beautiful locations. Beaches are magnificent to say the least, with turquoise, glistening waters. Plakes, Pounda, Monodendri, Marmari and Agios Nikolaos are some must-visit ones. You might also recognize Voutoumi beach in Antipaxos as it is always featured in articles listing the world’s best beaches. It is simply breathtaking! For delish Ionian cuisine head to Gaios where there are many small taverns, like Apagio and Karkaletzos.
