The Area
Filoxenia is situated just a couple of minutes' walk from a beach and a 5-minute drive from the charming harbour village of Gaios.
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.
Its three main villages, Gaios, Lakka and Laggos, are picturesque, welcoming little ports with idyllic seafront tavernas, shops and bars. Gaios is the port of entry and departure, and also has frequent boat services to Paxos' tiny sister island, Antipaxos.
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
A holiday in the sun would not be complete without exploring the breath-taking coastline, majestic cliffs and glistening azure sea that your destination has to offer. 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.

Kayaking in Paxos
Kayaking is the best way to explore the unique coast of Paxos, allowing you to explore the coastline up close to make sure you don't miss a thing. Our kayaking guide will pick all the best spots to stop and investigate inside the many caves and grottoes that dot this coast.

Filoxenia is in a fantastic location and has an iconic view. It's a lovely house with four well-appointed rooms. It's very quiet inside and out, even with three tweenagers in the house! It's perfectly placed and is in easy walking distance to two beaches. Overall, a fantastic holiday house in a beautiful setting.
Rupert Swallow August 2024
Filoxenia was beautiful, in particular the pool, the grounds, and the living and outdoor spaces. We absolutely loved Paxos, and the villa is in a great location to get to and from Gaios and Loggos towns.
