Paxos is in the Ionian group of Greek islands, a few miles south of Corfu. As there is no airport on Paxos, most people travel there by ferry from either Corfu or Igoumenitsa. There are 3 main villages on Paxos. Gaios is the main town and is the liveliest, with lots of restaurants and a huge harbour where you can stroll along and drool over all the rich peoples floating gin palaces. Its certainly worth at least one visit, but it gets very busy during the day with trippers from Corfu and Parga and many of the shops seem to just want to make a quick killing from these daytrippers. Loggos is the tiniest of the 3 and, for me at least, its the friendliest and least spoilt. One of their major concession to commercialism was to string a row of fairy lights along the harbour front about 5 years ago, but each year we went back, more and more bulbs were in need of replacing, and last year (2003) they had taken it down altogether! It has about half a dozen tavernas, about the same number of bars and a handful of shops, including a wonderful bakery so everything you need really. Lakka is somewhere between Loggos and Gaios in terms of size and has plenty of restaurants, bars and shops even an internet bar! Personally speaking, that means to me that it lacks both the charm and intimacy of Loggos and the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Gaios, but its very popular especially with first time visitors, so thats just my own opinion for what its worth.
