Paxi is a wonderful island in the Ionian Sea, geographically located south of Corfu. It is mostly famous for the exotic beaches in the close, uninhabited island of Antipaxos. Paxi has three small seaside villages where many private yachts and fishing boats moor in summer. These villages are lined up with fish taverns and studios. Daily boat tours depart from Gaios, the main village of Paxi, to the island of Antipaxos, a place with gorgeous sea water. Holidays in Paxi can be combined with the neighboring island of Corfu and the opposite mainland coasts.
Gaios Village Paxi: Gaios is the capital town of Paxi, named after the Apostle Gaios, who played an important role on the island when he preached during the first years after the death of the Christ. Gaios is surrounded by a stunning landscape with lush green olive groves and it counts on 500 residents that constitute the majority of the population of the entire island. Today most of them are engaged in tourism and fishing.
