Paxos holidays

Paxos holidays are all about slowing it down. Way down. Bask on quiet beaches, savour the flavours of Greece at traditional tavernas, explore whitewashed villages, hike through landscapes dotted with tiny churches, and sail from one secluded cove to the next. This tiny island in the Ionian Sea offers an unhurried slice of Greece, where the customs of yesteryear mingle with luscious sun-soaked vistas and laidback luxury. Easily accessible by ferry from nearby Corfu, visitors can experience its charming ambience and natural beauty far from the crowds of other islands. That's not to say it’s overly quiet, though. Take the harbour capital of Gaios. Its buzzy cosmopolitan centre is filled with romantic tavernas where you can dine by candlelight and watch the sun set beyond the dazzling sea.

Paxos Guide

Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday

What can you find in Paxos that you can't find anywhere else?

Paxos holidays seduce visitors with experiences that offer a traditional taste of Greece. Along the island’s rugged coastline, explore pebble beaches, hidden coves and charming villages, experiencing a slower pace of life that’s increasingly rare in today’s world. For a taste of the island’s rich culinary traditions pull up a chair at one of the island’s authentic eateries. Dishes feature fresh seafood and locally grown produce, and the olive oil is next level. For the real foodies, we can arrange a tour of the local olive groves where you can learn about the traditional methods of olive oil production, followed by a tasting. Time your trip right and you may catch one of the numerous festivals that stud the island’s calendar, including the Carnival of Paxos and the Festival of Agios Panteleimonas, which offer visitors a unique insight into Greek culture and customs.
