The settlements, with samples of genuine eptanisian architecture, the churches and chapels, in combination with the distinct natural environment make Paxoi an ideal destination. Walking the streets and paths give you the opportunity to see every corner of the island, while the bays are offered for mooring and are a reference point to those who travel in the Ionian.
