Ionian Sea. Paxi
December 5, 2007
PAXI is the smallest of the six main Ionian Islands. When you step ashore at GAIOS, the islands little port, you will find an exquisite miniature world just waiting to be discovered. Its charming 19th century houses, threaded by narrow lanes, lie at the end of a closed “fjiord” surrounded by trees and shrubs. You can moor right in the middle of the busy scenery of this charming place.
At the entrance of this picturesque harbor you can make out the islets of Panagia and Agios Nikolaos with its Venetian Castle and windmill.
LAKKA is a little seaside settlement with a tiny harbor, built on a sheltered bay whose coasts are covered with olives and pines. Its low houses are particularly distinctive, painted in interesting shades of brown and indigo. The turquoise waters invite you for a unique swim overboard.
