Paxos, just 19 sq km of cosy countryside, is little more than a broken fragment of hills sitting anchored off the southern end of Corfu. The hills are cloaked in a cool mantle of olive trees. Dark groves of cypresses pierce this silvery-green mantle. In the shade of these wooded hills lie sprinklings of rustic hamlets. But the real beauty of Paxos is the dazzling necklace of turquoise green coves that collar the eastern coastline. Whatever your age or ability we've got some glorious walks and a car tour to ensure you have a memorable holiday in Paxos.
Whether you tour Paxos by car or explore on foot, we look forward to showing you around.
