DESTINATIONS

Paxoi - Antpaxoi

A dreamy island with crystal-clear waters, breathtaking sea caves, and the charming port of Gaios.

Paxos is a Greek island in the Ionian Sea, lying just south of Corfu. As a group with the nearby island of Antipaxos and adjoining islets, it is also called by the plural form Paxi or Paxoi.
In Greek mythology, Poseidon created the island by striking Corfu with his trident, so that he and his wife Amphitrite could have some peace and quiet.
