Stone terraces created by the Venetians for olive growing and some viticulture…ruins…ancient olive groves…a remote cove with a goat herder, two fisherman and me…rough roads and lane ways…Greek Orthodox churches and their bell towers…Lunch waterside at Lakka…Donkeys who loved a good pat…

In Turkey I was reduced to Nescafe (called this on menus) with whitener (in plastic cups!) which I actually drank at University in the 80’s…bit of a retro flashback actually with the distinctive taste of ‘Coffeemate’. Thought things had improved in Corfu Greece but this was short lived and the Paxiots were never able to understand my orders for ‘a cappuccino, extra hot please??’…So a visit to the local store produced a Bialetti style coffee maker and can of Illy coffee which is producing a reasonable cup given all the milk is UHT….Hungary and Austria, what will you have in store???

Drinks by the water and dinner at a tiny taverna at Loggos followed by the Paxos Chamber Music festival performance in Loggos old school…amazing!!!! Internationally renowned artists performing on a tiny island… 

Picture perfect..idyllic…white sand and azure waters…

Spent another leisurely day at Ben’s Bar at Monodendri Beach followed by dinner on the waterfront at Aris Fish Restaurant in Lakka.

Mongonissi beach…Paxos Beach Club…Lacertus Bar and Koyini Taverna….

A gorgeous sunset (if a little windswept!) on the western side of the island at a thoroughly modern and very cool restaurant called Erimitis. 

A really lovely beach bar and Taverna owned and run by Ben with his mother in the Taverna…nice deck with sun beds…a wonderful day …
