Paxi – Top yacht charter destination
While the island has grown as a tourist
destination, Paxi has a serene and authentic atmosphere. The
harbours at Gaios and Lakka, with moorings along cypress-lined
inlets, are arguably the prettiest in Greece. Because Paxi is
small, it’s possible to explore much of the coastline in a short
period. Sail into secluded coves or head to one of the many large sea
caves – these are memories you’ll cherish for years to come.
Paxi
– Things to Do
Swim
and snorkel in the crystal-clear, turquoise waters of Paxi’s
beaches – Voutoumi, Vrika and Monodendri, to name just a few. For a
deeper marine experience, go scuba-diving in the numerous underwater
caves. Get a glimpse of traditional island life and breathe in the
scent of cypress and wild herbs by walking the many old mule paths
that criss-cross the countryside.
The
quaint streets of Gaïos, Loggos or Lakka offer pretty souvenir
shops, sidewalk cafes and laid-back tavernas. Sail out to the
Tripitos Arch on the west coast and marvel at this natural rock
formation, which is part of a collapsed sea cave. The water around
it is turquoise and translucent, and makes for beautiful photographs
and memories.
Paxi
– Gourmet Experience
Paxi
has many excellent eateries, including Vassilis Taverna in Loggos,
where the baked feta in filo, scorpion fish in Blanco sauce and
samphire is worth tasting. Genesis Restaurant, on the seafront at
Gaios, serves delectable seafood, including sea bass on champagne
risotto. Nearby Mambo is also well known for its delicious seafood,
including stuffed squid and seafood pasta.
Paxi
– Nightlife
Roxi
Bar in Loggos harbour is so close to the water you could almost step
straight off your yacht onto the terrace. Its relaxed ambience and
outdoor seating set against rock makes it the perfect spot for a
sundowner. Nassos Tavern in Gaios is a vibey spot for a late-night
coffee or drink, while Café Kalimera, on the town’s square, plays
a range of funky music and serves great wines.
