Paxos and Antipaxos Islands Private Cruise

Embark on a classic 4-hour cruise to Paxos Island with flexible departure starting at 10:00 from your chosen location. The smallest of the Ionian Islands, Paxos is a rare and special gem - laced with silvery olive groves and lined with soft white chalk cliffs, along with clear aquamarine sea and pebble beaches that must be seen to be believed!

Cruise towards Lakka, the second-largest village on Paxos Island. It is situated in the north part of the island and used as a port for boats, yachts, and sailboats. We anchor in the center of the colorful waterfront village and make a quick stop for coffee/ice cream.

Sail towards Antipaxos Island, where we make a stop at the charming beach of Vrika, known for the soft white sand and caribbean-esque, striking blue waters. Although a small island, it is endowed with outstanding beauty. The island of Antipaxoi (literally meaning “opposite Paxi”) lies at just 3 nautical miles from the port of Gaios.

We continue our cruise and reach the crystal-clear waters of Voutoumi beach for swimming and snorkeling. Voutoumi is a nice, pebbled beach located on the north eastern side of Antipaxos Island. It is situated inside a large cove with high rocks covering both sides of the beach. The water here is shallow, ideal for all ages, while snorkeling near the rocks is a nice activity.

Cruise towards the island of Paxos and swim at Mogonissi, which is situated south of Paxos just 4 kilometers away from the capital, Gaios. What makes this small island so unique is the complexity of the landscape. It combines the wildness of a rocky scenery that one finds in the west coast together with the lush vegetation that surronds the east coast. Adding to that, the deep blue sea, the sandy beach and the impressive caves compose an ideal scenery. Paradise is a few minutes away as Mongonissi conects with the island of Paxos with a bridge.

Our cruise returns once again to Paxos, where we’ll make a stop at the picturesque port of Gaios village. Gaios is the main port on Paxos, and is situated on the east coast of the island. On our way we’ll cross the stunning narrow channel between Mongoniss and the little round islet of Caltsonisi, cruising alongside the islands of Panagia and Agios Nikolaos. At the port of Gaios, we’ll have time to wander through the narrow streets of the charming village, visit countless souvenir shops, and enjoy a refreshing lunch at one of the many traditional tavernas – my favorite is Genesis – a small family-run restaurant with fresh seafood and local wine.The natural port of Gaios, resembles a fjord.
