This tiny island is famed for its olive oil production and as the rumoured romantic hideaway of Antony and Cleopatra. The main town, Gaios, nestles next to a waterfront coloured by little fishing boats. Giaos also has an old windmill, a Venetian fort and quaint little museum. Nearby, the Ypapanti sea cave is a natural wonder.The many small sandy beaches can get quickly overcrowded in high season but the water is clean and clear and great for swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving and fishing.

The Ionian Islands are great for sailing and Paxoi is no exception. Mooring is available in Gaios and further north in Lakka and Logos.
