L'essentiel de Paxos

Paxos Essentials

Paxos features a landscape defined by dramatic geological formations and Venetian heritage. This selection covers the island's southern limestone arches, the white cliffs of the western coast formed by seismic activity, and the pastel-hued capital of Gaios. Highlights include the 17th-century double-domed Church of the Hypapanti and the Paxos Museum, which preserves local history from prehistoric times to the 20th century, alongside secluded pebble beaches accessible only by sea.
