About Paxos

If you haven’t already discovered Paxos and fallen for its charm and the warm hospitality of its friendly people, here’s a little about the island we are proud to call home…..

According to Greek mythology, Paxos, practically untouched by time was created when Poseidon the Greek God of the sea hit the island of Corfu with his trident, breaking off the southern tip creating Paxos and Anti Paxos, where he would keep his lover Amphitriti.

At just 8 x 3km with 3 main villages, 3 or 4 policemen, 5 taxi drivers and not a set of traffic lights in sight, Paxos' enchanting tiny harbours of liquid aquamarine with colourful hand painted fishing boats and waterfront tavernas will weave their spell and it's no wonder that people return year after year to be around its stunning beauty and warm and extremely hospitable people.
