Information about Paxi
Paxi is, without a doubt, the emerald of the Ionian Sea. The turquoise waters, scattered lush olive groves, and exquisite earthy color palette of its Venetian-style houses create a genuinely cinematic setting.
The capital, Gaios, is a picturesque port town with neoclassical buildings, traditional tavernas, and cobbled alleyways. The charming fishing village of Lakka and the settlement of Longos are also worth visiting.
Paxi is best known for its exotic beaches. A swim at Voutoumi, Erimitis, or Orkos is all it takes to justify why they are considered to be among the best beaches of the Mediterranean, while the island’s sea caves offer an unforgettable exploration experience.
Tips for your trip to Paxi
To ensure a comfortable trip and a pleasant stay in Paxi, here are some useful tips:
- If you are traveling to Paxi during the summer, we recommend arriving at the port at least 1 hour before departure, especially if you are traveling with your vehicle.
- If you do not wish to travel with your vehicle, you can take a bus to Igoumenitsa from Athens or Thessaloniki. Indicatively, the journey from Thessaloniki to Igoumenitsa takes approximately 3.5 hours, while from Athens to Igoumenitsa, it takes about 6 hours.
- Alternatively, you can fly to Corfu or Zakynthos (Zante) and take a ferry to Paxi, as regular routes connect these islands.
- Local buses run daily routes from Gaios to the island’s main villages. Schedules are frequent, but if you want to explore Paxi at your own pace, bringing your vehicle or renting one on the island is recommended.
- For island hopping from Paxi, you can travel to nearby islands like Corfu and Lefkada or take a day trip to stunning Antipaxos, the sister island of Paxi.
