PAXI is the smallest of the six main Ionian islands. When you step ashore at Gaios,(its capital and biggest village of the island) the island's little port, you'll find an exquisite miniature world just waiting to be discovered. It is so tiny (10km. long and 4km. wide) that you can easily walk from one side to the other. At the same time, it is so thick with grapevines and olive trees that the whole place is like one big garden.
If you should happen to be in Paxi on the 15th of August, you'll want to follow the faithful who gather at the Monastery of Panagia. The festivities last all day and all night, winding up in Gaios with dancing in the main square.
From Paxi it is also possible to visit Parga on the mainland and Andipaxi, a tiny island 3 nautical miles from Gaios. About 120 people live on Andipaxi. Its slopes are practically covered with grapevines and its beaches are superb. Totally unspoilt, quiet Andipaxi serves as a refuge for those seeking solitude, simplicity and serenity. |
