A walker's paradise

Paxos is a tiny gem in the Ionian with a relaxed, unhurried pace and genuinely friendly atmosphere. This remarkably verdant island is barely 12km by 4km, putting everything within easy striking distance. Indeed, its diminutive size and abundant flora and fauna make Paxos holidays a real walker's paradise.

The lack of an airport on Paxos has had the undoubted benefit of protecting Paxos holidays from the usual strains of tourism. This factor, combined with the many delightful coves dotted along the coastline that can only be reached by foot or boat, attracts a flotilla of boats and yachts to the island's shores each year.

Even if you are a landlubber, hiring a boat is a splendid way to explore the turquoise bays and sleepy harbours with their surprisingly sophisticated shops and tavernas. And, if you find yourself on the beach at Lakka, you'll soon see why it is considered to be one of Europe's top twenty beaches*.

Our SunIsle Representative on Paxos gives her views on this undiscovered island …

Beautiful beaches, clear crystal waters and amazing sunsets are just some of the things that attracted me to Paxos. Having holidayed here for many years my fiancé and I decided to make the move to this beautiful island. The people are warm and genuinely friendly and although the smallest of the Ionian there is always plenty to do, whether you enjoy walking and taking in the amazing views and array of fauna, visiting the olive press museum or one of the 63 churches on the island, taking in a cooking demonstration or simply hiring a boat and exploring the many coves and beaches for yourself you will find that a couple of weeks is never enough and I’m sure once Paxos has worked its magic you will find yourself returning the following year.
