Antipaxos

Tucked away a mere 3 kilometres south of the island of Paxos in the Ionian Sea, lies its smaller sister Antipaxos – a serene hideaway where untouched nature, turquoise waters and total tranquillity take centre stage. Although this nearly uninhabited island only spans less than five square kilometres, Antipaxos remains a firm favourite among locals and yacht charterers alike, thanks to its dazzling coastline, spectacular white-sand beaches, and quiet, crowd-free charm. The perfect charter destination for those looking to taste a slice of traditional Greek life without the hustle and bustle, there are no paved roads on the island, no tourist shops and just a handful of rustic tavernas and stone cottages, adding to the island’s quaint appeal. Vrika and Voutoumi, two of the main beaches on Antipaxi, are known for their crystal-clear shallow waters, while secluded coves further south offer some of the best snorkelling and swimming conditions in the region. Inland, winding footpaths lead through chalk-white hillsides, olive groves, wild herb meadows and family-owned vineyards producing a rich, full-bodied red wine popular across the Ionian. Described as a ‘true escape from the modern world’, Antipaxos is ideal for yacht charterers in search of nature, peace and authenticity. In addition, the island’s location near Paxos, Corfu, and mainland Greece makes it an ideal stopover for a longer yacht charter through the Ionian Islands.
