The Area
Aperghis overlooks the northwest coast of Paxos, a few kilometres away from the island's picturesque towns of Loggos, Lakka and Giaos, all welcoming little harbours with idyllic seafront tavernas, shops and bars. The nearest village with tavernas and shops is Magazia, which is just over 1km away. Gaios, the main port of entry to the island, has frequent boat services to Corfu and Paxos' tiny sister island, Antipaxos.
Paxos (measuring around 13km from north to south) is situated 15km south of Corfu and about 20km off the Greek mainland. It boasts some of the most stunning beaches anywhere in the Mediterranean and, as it's only accessible by ferry, has managed to remain relatively unspoilt by mass tourism.
The western seaboard of Paxos is dramatic, with cliffs, sea caves and stretches of rugged, rocky coastline, while the east coast is home to gentle sandy beaches and views of the Greek mainland. The hinterland is carpeted with olive groves, which produce some truly excellent oil.
A holiday on Paxos is all about relaxing and taking it easy, all the more so if you book one of our villas on the island.

Private boat charters on Paxos and Antipaxos
Exploring the breathtaking coast by boat is a must and an excellent way to get to know the islands, stopping off for swims in secluded bays. The east of Paxos is gentle, with placid waters lapping pebbly beaches: the west has a more rugged, weather-beaten look that can only be fully appreciated from the water. To experience all this in style, why not book a day out on one of our private skippered charters.

Boat rental in Paxos and Antipaxos

The best way to experience this spectacle is from your very own rental boat, pottering along at a leisurely pace and occasionally stopping off to drop anchor and swim in secluded bays.

We loved Aperghis, the view, and the grounds. We loved that it was designed for outdoor living. We were very grateful for the food the owner left in the kitchen for us. That was a nice touch! We would return.

Aperghis is a stunning villa, well laid-out, clean and modern. The outside spaces are particularly nice. Paxos is a beautiful island and we received great support from The Thinking Traveller. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Aperghis was just perfect. Really beautiful gardens and pool. Lovely view of the sea and to mainland Greece. Perfectly located on the island so that everything was within easy reach. We would definitely go back!

5 stars for Aperghis. The villa was beautiful and thoughtfully designed and appointed. It was nice to have the range of outdoor seating options. Very comfortable for the 6 of us. The pool and stonework was unique and very well done. We loved being there and I would definitely come back.

We love Aperghis. Every detail is thought about from the kitchenware to the décor! The bedrooms, kitchen, outdoor areas and living spaces are all very well appointed with nice quality items. The beds and linens are very comfortable. The outdoor spaces are dreamy and simply perfect. The housekeeper maintains the house so well!
