PAXOS can be found 14 kilometres south of CORFU and 20 kilometres to the east of PRAGA on the mainland of GREECE.
PAXOS covering 19 square kilometres green area is one of a cluster of picturesque small islands set in the IONIAN SEA.
PAXOS is an island of endless olive and ANTIPAXOS is one of a large vineyard. The eastern coastline of the islands are gentle compared to the west coast which are bold and abrupt with caves, arches and shear cliffs.
GAIOS, the capital of Paxos, is a picturesque village built around a port which is protected by two small islands AGIOS NIKOLAS and PANAGIA. On the northern side is the village of LAKKA and on the east side is the very charming village of LOGGOS.
PAXOS has no airport, can only be reached by ferry boat and recently by Sea Plane, and therefore, has been able to protect itself from the strain of modern tourism.
You will find the pace is still unhurried, very relaxing with genuine friendly Greek hospitality at its best. PAXOS has a permanent population of approximately 2,300 inhabitants.
LOGGOS is a small fishing village on the east coast of PAXOS just around the corner from LAKKA. Tavernas and bars surround the harbour, a very pleasant place to sit and while away the hours.
There are three mini-markets and a baker's shop which have a good selection of produce, fresh fruit and vegetables are brought in from mainland Greece on a regular basis.
LOGGOS is on the main bus route and is well serviced by the local friendly taxis service.
