THE MAIN VILLAGES

The three main coastal villages on Paxos are, in order of size, Gaios, Lakka and Loggos.

Gaios is the island's capital and main harbour. Named after St Gaius, a disciple of St Paul who converted the island to Christianity, it has a variety of restaurants and shops, and the police station, doctors, dentist, banks and the telephone exchange are located there. The new port is where the large ferries arrive from Corfu and the mainland, while the old harbour is the point of departure for the express boats to Anti-Paxos.

Lakka is best known for its beautiful natural bay and the watersports available there. The bay, well sheltered from the wind, is excellent for learning windsurfing or sailing. From Loggos and Gaios, Lakka can be reached quite easily either by bus or boat, and it offers various tavernas and cafes.

Loggos is the smallest of the three main coastal villages on Paxos, greatly appreciated for its picturesque appearance and tranquillity. The village has half a dozen restaurants, a piano bar, cafes, two or three mini-markets and its own bakery, and plenty of boats are available for hire from the quayside. The Travel a la carte office is in Loggos, while our agent is located on the harbour front in Gaios.
