About Paxos

Paxos is a small greek island just 14 kilometres south of Corfu and is one of a cluster of picturesque locations across the Ionian Sea. The eastern coastline is gentle in comparison to its’ western counterpart which is comprised of choppier wave patterns and beautiful coves to explore. The island has a relaxed, unhurried pace about it and radiates classic Mediterranean charm, not to mention a variety of delicious cuisines on offer in the restaurants and cafes across the island. If you’re looking to get away from the noise and mania of everyday life, there is no better place to escape to than the tranquil beaches and Venetian-inspired architecture of Paxos.

With the island being home to just 2500 residents, tourism is the primary source of income alongside livelihoods such as fishing and olive oil production. Despite tourism being such an integral part of life on this obscure Ionian Island, only a handful of people descend upon the pebbled shores daily. Paxos is known for its stunning scenery, breathtaking olive groves and air of utter serenity, so those looking for a more active getaway often opt for one of the more lively greek destinations.
