I've not edited this pic- the water is THAT color because of the color of the sand.

The town of Gaios on the island of Paxos (pop 2500).

Many fishing boats (big and small) amount the yachts and sailboats moored along the harbor area.

We walked the narrow streets of Paxos and came upon this beautiful building.

We both loved the shape and resilience of this olive tree.

Another building I liked along the harbor side.

First time we've seen white bougainvillea (lots of pink and purple but 1st time for white).

The boat we traveled on, about 2.5 hours from Corfu Town.

Statue of a ship captain who skippered a fire ship during the Greek revolution in 1798.

This is a beach area on Anti Paxo (smaller island near Paxos).

The boat going into the "blue" cave is a sister vessel to ours - we go in a few minutes later.

Our ship inside one of the blue caves. There are many along this area.

Lots of private vessels around the blue caves, a few had kayaks to go into the caves.

The cliffs are sandstone and occasionally there are slides, this was a big one.

On the way back the two boats tried to stay next to each other so a DJ could play music for both.

A day trip to Paxos

2024年5月28日, ギリシャ ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

We took a boat trip to the islands of Paxos and AntiPaxos (part a group of islands called Paxi).

In Greek mythology, Poseidon created the Paxos island by striking Corfu with his trident, so that he and wife Amphitrite could have some peace and quiet.

It was a full day on a full boat. We were lucky with beautiful weather and while large groups of people on a boat are not normally our scene, we enjoyed the day and overall we had a nice time. It’s a beautiful area of the Ionian Sea, with gorgeous turquoise water along the shores and amazing “blue” caves Koo, some big enough for large boats to enter them.

In addition to seeing the blue caves we visited the town of Gaios, the main town of Paxos. It’s a picturesque village, mainly focused on tourism but we enjoyed walking the small streets (after we had a delicious piece of Spanakopita at a local bakery).もっと詳しく
