Paxos is a small island covered in pines and ancient olives planted by the Venetians….rocky bays and pebbly beaches, turquoise waters, sandy bays and Venetian architecture. The small Capital town of Gaios is a maze of little streets and a cafe lined waterfront where yachts pull in for the night. Its a great vibe with little shops, people, restaurants with lovely Greek food including octopus, fish, Tzatziki, olives, greek salad, saganaki and calamari. I hired a tiny Fiat Panda to access the hidden coves and little harbour towns and on our first exploration we drove passed the olive terraces, ruined houses and olive mills, Greek churches, wells and little tavernas to reach Lakka at the northern end of the island. It is a beautiful bay and we swam before lunch on the harbours edge. Coffee and a swim at Loggos on the way back to Gaios.
