Verdant, hilly and still largely unspoiled, Paxi (Paxos) is the smallest of the main Ionian islands. Barely 12km by 4km, it has no sandy beaches, no historical sites, only two hotels and a serious water shortage, yet is so popular it is best avoided in high season. It's a particular favourite of yachting flotillas, whose spending habits have brought the island an upmarket reputation, making it just about the most

expensive place to visit in the Ionian islands and lending it a rather cliquey air. Pockets of unauthorized camping, however, are tolerated after the closure of the official site. Most accommodation is block-booked by travel companies, though there are local tour operators whose holiday deals are often a fraction of the price. The capital, Gaios , is quite cosmopolitan, with delis and boutiques, but northerly Lakka and tiny Longos are where hardcore Paxophiles head.
