Ionian islands · Greece

Paxos & Antipaxos.

A beautiful Ionian pairing for unhurried harbour evenings, boat days and water that really is that blue.

Keep Paxos slow

Paxos is not about ticking off a long list. Choose a base, take time around the harbour and let the rhythm of the island do the work.

Make a day for Antipaxos

Antipaxos is best reached by boat. Go early if you can, bring what you need for the day and give yourself time to swim rather than rushing back.

Choose a harbour evening

A long dinner by the water is one of the real pleasures here. Keep at least one evening completely unplanned for that reason.

Plan the crossings

Getting to the island involves a sea crossing, so build a little flexibility into arrival and departure days and check the current sailing schedule before booking.
