Why go

Vineyard slopes and luminous coves south of Paxos.

Antipaxos is a tiny, sparsely settled Ionian island known for Voutoumi and Vrika beaches, family vineyards and summer boat traffic.

Antipaxos lies a short boat ride south of Gaios. Its pale beaches and transparent water draw day boats, while low stone walls and small vineyards cover the interior.

There is no true town and only limited seasonal dining. Walking between Vrika and Voutoumi reveals a quieter landscape behind the busy anchorages, but the island's water and waste capacity are small.

Practical information

Water taxis and excursions leave Paxos in settled weather. Bring essentials, confirm the last boat and avoid anchoring on seagrass or entering private vineyards.
