Chimara
Just a few kilometres inland from the port of Loggos, the sleepy village of Fontana has two tavernas, a small general store and a pharmacy.
From Fontana a narrow track snakes its way down through hillside olive groves towards the sea. Villa Chimara is half way down this track.
Chimara is surrounded by a natural landscape of olive and pine. Total privacy and only the sound of birdsong and cicada chatter.
Views along the east coastline of Paxos to the tiny island of Panaghia and to the Greek mainland, are powerful. By night the twinkling lights of mountain villages on the mainland provide extra theatre.
Within this densely forested part of Paxos there are many ancient goat paths, which are still used to get from one hamlet to another. One of these paths leads from Villa Chimara’s private grounds to the beach of Kakilangatha – a walk down of just 5 minutes.
Chimara isn’t a glitzy villa - it has soft edges and will appeal to those looking for a comfortable and totally private escape.

"Our own private heaven for a week's escape from the outside world.
So many villas are minimalistic, modern and soulless - Chimara has a warm, welcoming feel."

"We just wanted you to know that we all enjoyed our stay on Paxos enormously.
After more than 40 years we thought the island was as fabulous as ever!
Chimara was lovely both inside and out and all the staff charming.
Dimitris was absolutely delightful.
He was not only extremely helpful but answered all our queries and gave us lots of useful advice.
Many thanks to you both for delivering a great holiday."

"Our island holiday was fabulous! The villa was gorgeous, and your agent, Dimitris Aronis, really couldn’t have been more helpful, even when we damaged our hire car, and he had to find us another one at short notice!
We were very happy with the whole experience, and would definitely use Ionian Villas again. We absolutely LOVED Paxos!"
