Visiting the island of Paxos for the first time will undoubtedly offer you the experience of living an unforgettable vacation with your family. Well, there is no reason behind this statement, but there are many things that make this island a paradise for peace lovers. Anyway, before discussing the reasons that will make your vacation an unforgettable period of your life, or will make the island of Paxos different from others, let’s talk about the island of Paxos.
Where is Paxos Island? As you know, the country of Greece is known for its beautiful islands, and surprisingly Paxos is one of them. Although the island is the smallest among all the islands located in Greece, despite this it is visited by a large crowd of visitors from all over the world, especially those who are looking for a quiet and romantic place for their holidays. The island is located in the arms of the Ionian or Heptanese island and is at a distance of nine miles from Corfu, which is its closest city. The Greek mainland is located at a distance of ten miles from Paxos. To get to Paxos, you will have to rent a boat from Corfu, because the island does not have its own airport, and the only airport to get there is in Corful.
But surprisingly, the absence of an airport could not prevent lovers of nature and peace from arriving there. In fact, it would not be wrong to say that the absence of an airport has turned out to be a blessing for Paxos, as it has kept it safe from any kind of contamination that may have taken place due to the arrival of the planes. The island is mainly covered with olive groves, which is also the main source of income for the natives, in addition to fishing and small commercial activities.
The east coast of the island has pebbles, while the west coast only has limestone rocks and cliffs.
Hotels in Paxos Island: If you are concerned about the facilities of your stay on the island, you should not think too much about it. Because, like other developed cities, Paxos has also been blessed with all those facilities and amenities that you have been finding in other cities and therefore finding hotels on the island of Paxos is no exception. However, these hotels are different from the usual hotels you have stayed in while visiting somewhere on vacation.
Greece hotels are similar to your personal home, offering you the same freedom you have been enjoying at home. As a general practice when you stay in a hotel you have to reserve your room before arriving there, although to stay in these hotels it is necessary to reserve them before your arrival. But, here you will not have to follow the restrictions of living in a single or double room or eating the food provided by the hotel. On the contrary, here you will have spacious rooms with king size beds, a living room with a sofa and other furniture, the possibility of cooking your own food in the kitchen. One more thing that differentiates Paxos hotels from other hotels in the presence of balcony, pool and terrace, which are not offered by regular hotels.
All these three facilities offer you the privilege of seeing the iconic view of an island and its surroundings from the balcony and terrace, while the separate pool offers you the possibility to enjoy swimming according to your mood. Whereas, when you stay in any hotel, you will not find a balcony or terrace to view the surroundings, and swimming is also allowed during specific hours of the day.
What activities you can enjoy on the Island: Although the island of Paxos is small compared to other islands, it still has everything to offer visitors who arrive there. Here you can enjoy the pleasure of practicing different types of water sports, sailing to nearby towns, walking along the beaches, enjoying the fascinating sight of fireflies at night, learning about the lifestyle of the natives, the culture of Greece and , of course, a romantic and peaceful vacation.
