Paxos
Located underneath the famous Ionian island of Corfu, the small island of Paxos captivates all who visit with its blend of natural beauty, fascinating history, and authentic charm, making it an increasingly sought-after destination for yacht charters. Despite its rather modest size, the island boasts a diverse array of activities to enjoy, from watersports and outdoor trekking to exploring traditional villages and sampling the local cuisine. The coastline of Paxos is home to secluded coves, dramatic sea caves, and untouched beaches like Erimitis, which are famous for their striking white cliffs and crystal-clear waters. The island’s interior landscapes are dotted with ancient olive groves and cypress forests, which serve as a serene backdrop for exploration. Paxos’s three main villages, Gaios, Lakka, and Loggos, each offer a unique character, from Gaios’s bustling harbour and Venetian architecture to Lakka’s sheltered bay ideal for anchoring, and Loggos’s quaint fishing village ambience. Tavernas and cafés serve the freshest seafood and traditional Greek dishes, complemented by the island’s own olive oil and wines, which are best enjoyed as the sun sets. A perfect charter destination for new and seasoned charterers alike, Paxos’s location near Corfu and Antipaxos makes it an excellent hub for extended charters through the Ionian archipelago.

We recommend booking your Paxos charter yacht sometime between the months of May and October, when the Mediterranean climate provides warm temperatures and calm seas. May, June, and September are particularly favourable, offering favourable weather and fewer crowds. July and August mark the peak tourist season, bringing higher temperatures and increased visitor numbers, which may affect the island's typically serene atmosphere.
