Our AntiPaxos Properties
One mile south of Paxos lies the tiny island of AntiPaxos, just 4 kilometres by 3 and with a population of around thirty. There are a couple of tavernas above the sandy beaches of Voutoumi and Vrika but no shops. A frequent speedboat service takes passengers from Gaios to AntiPaxos and back until 5.30pm. A stay at one of our AntiPaxos villas will mean waiting until 5.30 to have the beach to yourselves or a morning swim before 10.30.
Shopping on Paxos can be done using the speedboat service to Gaios, which has a good selection of shops, or by ordering with the villa caretaker or by hiring a boat to shop in Gaios.
The island is a romantic escape for couples and the more adventurous family. Without the light pollution of a village, the night time sky is a magical and theatrical display. An undulating interior of wild hillsides, carpeted by maquis and small olive trees, hides valleys of vineyards above beaches of sand and pebble. There exists a rare feeling of absolute peace and quiet.
Ancient donkey paths have become walking paths to connect the island’s tiny port with the small houses scattered over the island. More recently the main paths have been widened to allow vehicle access and over the past few years a few locals have shipped over a jeep or two to help carry supplies to renovate a crumbling stone cottage. Donkeys and walkers however still have right of way and you can hear an approaching jeep from afar.
Our AntiPaxos villas have a freezer, satellite TV, air-conditioning, torch, games and books.
