More about Paxos
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.
With enchanting tiny harbours of liquid aquamarine with colourful hand painted fishing boats and waterfront tavernas, Paxos weaves its spell and its no wonder that people return year after year to be around its stunning beauty and warm and extremely hospitable people.
Despite Paxos being just 29 sq km & 8 x 3km there is no shortage of things to do.
