PAXOS ODDS
AND ENDS
 One
of the best thihgs to do at Paxos is to take a cruise around
the island (Gaios ot Antipaxi via the West coast) with
a small boat. It cost us € 20.00 Euro per person (children
travel free)
We
had no problem getting money in Paxos through
the ATM machines (VISA, MC) in Gaios
Best Place to swim: Antipaxos, Vrika beach
Water taxi to Antipaxi from Gaios costs € 6.00 per person (children
travel free)
(Expect to get wet as water splashes over the speeding boat. Protect
cameras with plastic bags)
Paxos Beaches
Levrehio beach near Logos was nice for snorkeling.
Monodendri beach near Logos is
large and organized
All the beaches we saw on the island of Paxi were lined with pebbles,
and the only sandy beaches were in Antipaxi (Vrika and Vitoumi)
Best Beach
We thoroughly enjoyed Vrika Beach in Antipaxos and would recommend it
highly for swimming and snorkeling.
Snorkeling
Great island for snorkeling! My experience of snorkeling around Vrika
beach was one of the best.
Watch out!
In July, there were too many speed boats sailing perilously close to
the beach. If you are snorkeling, be extra alert and stay close to
the shore.
Other things to do.
Rent a boat for
swimming/snorkeling around the west coast of the island.
Rent a motorbike and tour the island.
