PAXI
Paxi is the biggest one and offers 3 big tourist villages: Gaios, Lakka and Loggos. The island of Paxi is the ideal place for those who love to sail.
The few small ports in this island are always full of sailing boats and yachts.
The west coast of Paxi island is more spectacular since it is full of sea caves and lonely beaches accessible only by boat.
Just near Vasilatika village there is a lovely cave called Ipapandi and in this part of the coast the sea is really stunning.
