Paxos is the ideal holiday island on which to simply get away from the stresses and strains of modern life and relax. Located off the west coast of mainland Greece, the island of Paxos is only five miles long, yet is a complete world in miniature. In the old harbours of Paxos, where little has changed over the centuries, great yachts can be found moored next to the smallest of wooden fishing boats. Tiny traditional villages and hamlets are scattered among the olive groves, and the clear, sparkling sea can be glimpsed from almost every vantage point.
