The tiny island of Paxos (also known as Paxi), measuring only 13km from top to bottom, is a true Ionian gem. In contrast to many other Greek islands, Paxos has been able keep its traditional charm and avoid mass tourism as it can only be reached by boat. Despite its size, Paxos has much to offer including pristine white beaches and fantastic restaurants. A day trip to Paxos is a day well spent.
