Arriving in Paxos – A Sophisticated Sailing Destination

Paxos offers a blend of sophistication and authenticity. Sailors will find full provisioning and services in Gaios, while Lakka and Loggos provide serene, scenic alternatives. Finally, quiet anchorages around the island allow for restful overnights.

⚓ Gaios – Capital Convenience

Gaios is the central port and main town of Paxos. It has everything: from stern-to mooring to water & electricity on the quay, fuel delivery, ATMs, laundry, and supermarkets. It’s also a charming place to stroll and dine.

Chandlers are available, and local technicians can assist with small repairs. For provisioning, two main supermarkets are within walking distance of the quay.

The Port Authority of Paxos is located on the waterfront in Gaios and handles all official matters related to vessels.
